“Early on, if you provide value [on Nostr], you can create an incredible outsized return because people will follow you. And then as more people join the network, they'll look to people who are providing value and they'll move more and more to you… But because it's a protocol level, no one can ever take those followers away from you. No one can ever take your content away from you. The clients are competing for you. So all of the protocol development and all of the client development is in service of YOU.” - @Jeff Booth on @THE Bitcoin Podcast View quoted note →

“Whenever I would go to the US I would have FBI agents greeting me at the airport asking questions.” - Telegram founder Pavel Durov

My favorite part of downloading Nostr clients? “Data Not Collected.” 🤌 @0xchat

“What is Nostr?” Explained in 49 seconds by me and @CARLA⚡️ (With help from a @npub1sn0w...jdv9 quote)

“Every time these new technologies get introduced, we have these moral panics… speech in and of itself doesn’t matter [without distribution]… this stuff we’re seeing today with social media is not new.” — @rabble 🎯 I loved Rabble’s talk at Nostrica, and this latest one is even better, IMHO.

Kind reminder: open-source developers on Nostr are assuming a huge amount of risk. Yes, Nostr is a Hydra, and when totalitarians cut off one head two more will grow in its place… But each developer IS a head, and by simply writing code they put themselves in a dangerous position. By writing code that enables freedom technology, they make themselves a target. They know this, and they do it anyway. It should not be this way, I know. Code is speech. But it is the reality of the world we live in today. Thankfully, open-source developers are creating tools that will make the world of tomorrow a better, freer one. The kind of world you want your children to inherit. So, whatever Nostr client you’re reading this on, go zap the developer. Give them some of your monetary energy. They fucking deserve it.

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov arrested in France… If there is a throat to choke, it will be choked. If there is a head to cut off, it will be cut off. Platform owners that bend the knee to totalitarianism will censor and deplatform you. Platform owners that do not comply will be arrested and threatened with the full force of “The Law.” Nostr is a Hydra. You cannot kill Nostr. There is no single throat to choke, no one head to cut off. Succeed in cutting off one head and two will grow in its place. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/telegram-messaging-app-ceo-pavel-durov-arrested-france-tf1-tv-says-2024-08-24/

Does the fact that Trump is once again running with the “Make America Great Again” slogan mean that he admits he failed to Make America Great Again as President?
