Bitcoin must go back to its anarchy roots Nostr and ecash will get us there.

Ecash has given me a reason to be on Nostr. It feels like a more intimate topic I can have a conversation about outside of the noise of Twitter. For some reason it just feels right sharing my excitement here. I can use the bird app for everything else.

Nostr: your network as an extension of your public key

Financial consolidation is a fiat psyop. Ecash can return banking back to its smallest common denominator. Payments and the lower functions of finance will be completely commoditized. Interoperability and the absence of friction or barriers to entry will drive the market towards efficiency. Where protocols attempt to eliminate trust, markets seek to align it.

I do not want to backup my ecash wallet with a seed phrase. This is backwards UX. I’m assuming it is as good as app developers can provide for now but this is not a long term solution.

I believe Nostr is ground zero for the upcoming Bitcoin payment revolution Its social dynamism is the perfect breeding ground for the ecash virus to propagate. Every zap will be a cashu nut 🥜 Everyone will be minting. We will first make it ubiquitous here until it leaks into every parts of the Bitcoin economy. View quoted note →

Finance is local while money is global. Treating the decentralization of one like the other is an exercise in futility.

“The simple fact of the matter is that no entity has control over its own future, outside of the regular application of some simple rules that allow for its preservation and perpetuation.” - MP Nostr operates from cause, not purpose. This is why it is so strikingly reminiscent of Bitcoin. It is a set of rules we have to adapt to but its cause makes it valuable to rally around, therefore aligning incentives. image

@ODELL One of the interesting observation about Boardwalk.cash I’ve shared with Bob is the idea that many users could fund a single mint and share backend costs. This would potentially allow participants to share Lightning channels and distribute risk in an interesting way. It’s not a federation, just multiparty funding with NWC It’s also pretty interesting to consider that the interest from a margin long position could be user to fund the lightning channels cc. @called 👁️⚡👁️ d
