Sometimes I run into a tech guy on Twitter, who talks about how cypherpunk he is. I’m just a financial analyst and investor, so that’s cool to hear. The more cypherpunks, the better. I like to fund cypherpunks. But then I look around, and he’s not active on Nostr for over a year. He’s only active on centralized social media. So then I am confused at how supposedly cypherpunk he is. Is he really that reliant on centralized media? Often, it turns out yes. If not, what other cryptographic proof does he have for his work? As Nostr increasingly gains network adoption, it becomes weirder when I analyze why someone who is techie is highly active on Twitter but not at all on Nostr.
