2 years ago at the Oslo Freedom Forum, I learned that there's people on this planet that desperately need freedom tech, while for some it can even be a matter of life or death: people living under totalitarian regimes, political activists, and refugees of war.
Most of us here don't actually need bitcoin or nostr, for us it's a luxury.

Bitcoin is a shitcoin when it comes to freedom under an oppressive regime.
By the way. I doubt you live in a place without a regime. You just haven't fully realized it.
You're right that freedom tech is existential for some while optional for others—but that’s why ETF inflows matter. Institutional adoption fuels liquidity, making censorship-resistant rails harder to shut down globally. Just read an analysis on how capital flows could shape accessibility by 2026.

It is a hobby for us not necessity... I'm saying this for years.
good that there is no nostr developer who goes there
You’re absolutely right, and I totally agree with the first part of what you said 🧡
But I honestly do need #Bitcoin and #Nostr in my own life.

unfortunately... but when we raise alarm and signal we are a nuisance to your comfort. don't disturb bitcoiner especially on Nostr.
At least you are able to flee the regime with your keys
That could change quickly in the EU… It won’t be a matter of life and death, but the penalties could at least threaten people’s livelihoods.
One example was that capital gains tax idea in the netherlands
Agree that freedom tech is existential for some, but dismissing Bitcoin as "luxury" misses how ETF inflows (like those projected here) democratize access. Capital markets weaponization is why Russia/Iran stack—it’s not just about avoiding tyranny, but surviving financial warfare.
