I used to spend three hours a day on Twitter. One year ago, I deleted my account. Now I’m only on Nostr, and I spend maybe ten minutes a day scrolling.
 The difference is extraordinary.
 The noise is gone.
 The manipulation is gone.
 And when I leave, I don’t feel drained, I feel uplifted. That’s when I realised something important:
the new system isn’t just technically superior. 
It’s psychologically healthier. But the real question is this:
how do we help people transition? The answer is monetisation. When creators can earn directly from their audiences, without platforms, advertisers, or banks, they will come.
 When they come, they’ll bring their communities with them. 
And when those audiences can earn by promoting what they love, the migration becomes inevitable. That’s what Fanfares makes possible :
a media economy where the network itself becomes the discovery engine.
 Every person who finds something valuable becomes a paid promoter of quality.
 No algorithms. No ads. Just trust, consequence, and value flowing peer to peer. Decentralised, open networks are not just better technology.
 They’re the next phase of human communication.
 They are where attention becomes aligned with meaning again, 
and where we finally reclaim our time, our minds, and our freedom.

The media has evolved from the scribe, to the printing press, to the internet. Today, independent creators are replacing mainstream media. The real force behind this shift isn’t ideology — it’s monetization. Advertising revenue is draining from legacy outlets as platforms deliver better profitability through data collection and targeting. Independent media is winning audiences from mainstream media. The platform system is profitable — for some, for now. Bitcoin and Nostr mark the next stage of evolution: creators can now publish without platforms and get paid without banks or sponsors. Fanfares enables creators to publish their work as encrypted notes. Those who zap to unlock receive the decryption key — and own a copy forever. Copyright is protected through incentives. Lightning payment splits deliver instant sats to purchasers that recommend content. Bitcoin is money that you own.
 Nostr is identity that you own.
 Fanfares is content that you own. Without private property, there is no freedom.
 Platforms are slavery. The future is freedom.
 We have the tools — we just have to learn how to use them. Try it for yourself…

Has anyone noticed that the police in Europe have started to look like storm troopers?

Hey @miljan I am a subscriber to Primal, but am finding that I can't upload images when publishing an article. Could one of the devs give me hand?

When your Nostr feed is full of posts about the price of Gold and Silver, then it is very likely that the price is topping out. That is a good thing because we can get back to focusing on Bitcoin! 😉

Nostr with Bitcoin Lightning integrated is a marketplace for content. Creators bring their produce. People come and take what they want. Some pay. Some take it for free. In its rawest form, Nostr relies on goodwill. No walls. No locks. Just open exchange. Paywalls change that. They let creators build shops. Their wares kept in locked drawers — sampled, shared, and sold. A Nostr identity is a shop. Now walls can be built around it. People can be invited in, sample content for free and choose what to buy. Bitcoin is the first money we can own. Nostr gives us an identity we can own. Fanfares gives us content we can own. When there is no private property, there is no freedom. Fanfares is a data vending machine. ⚡️
