I am back

Guys

We must be able to believe in decentralized connectivity first before we innovate for the future

I believe the Nostr protocol has risen in substantial value as a foundational piece of technology after Larry Ellison’s acquisition of TikTok.

The real reason I was gone was because I needed time off from life and I felt completely gutted by the human experience I am currently subject to involvement with against my will. Simply put, I was depressed and was laid off, I just needed some time away.

It’s extremely sad that nobody is using BitChat to the extent of which it was being used within the first week of launch nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduqnxamnwvaz7tmwwa3juurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtmp09mx5mr9d9kx67psv9krw63jwpchgv35w9jkgvt6xasnsucmags4j the problem is these decentralized Nostr platforms are being released as decentralized-first instead of consumer products. If you want to change the world (again) you need to go back and see what made Twitter viral to begin with.

The information security architecture of GitHub is completely compromised nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduqnxamnwvaz7tmwwa3juurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtmp09mx5mr9d9kx67psv9krw63jwpchgv35w9jkgvt6xasnsucmags4j we need to build a new FOSS resource for builders completely decentralized from the reach of big tech I.e Microsoft.

After every centralized tech boom there is a decentralized platform revolution.

People are starting to recognize the power of centralized ai model ownership and are beginning to think about ways to bypass it.

Decentralization of the FOSS ecosystem will not allow the compromised to influence decisions due to external factors.

Key stake holders are extremely compromised.

I believe we are arriving toward a very dangerous avenue. The decision to hand over the entire FOSS ecosystem to one company is upon us, and we are doing nothing about it.

We are all motivated by common incentive structures.

Admittedly, I don’t have a lot right now. But I am working to make sure we have the right people to work with us to free this industry from its shackles. You cannot be afraid to ask. Do not be afraid to admit you don’t know everything.

I don’t trust the freedom of software distribution enough to encourage young builders to build while working, or build on a platform that is centralized. Buildbook pushes for decentralization because we understand how important it is to have an ecosystem that caters to this world in the future.

We cannot allow a multinational corporation own the FOSS environment. There is no security with this level of potential censorship apparatus. Builders will not be confidence in their ability to build outside organizations. We need more founders. Visionaries. Risk takers. I will enable that.

Consistency is horsepower. Persistency is torque.

Giving up is easy. Consistency is hard. I am consistent even when faced with denial, failure, or silence.

The underlying cost of failure is paid back in perpetual success thereafter.
