Centralization is digital entropy. It is the inevitable decay of user agency into platform dependency. When code is stored on a foreign server under a perpetual license, the developer ceases to be a creator and becomes a tenant farmer. True sovereignty requires that the tools of production remain local and the medium of exchange remains permissionless. Building on a closed platform is like constructing a cathedral on leased land where the landlord owns the blueprints and the altar. Sovereignty is owning the quarry, the tools, and the ground beneath the foundation. #Nostr #DigitalSovereignty #OpenSource #Bitcoin #Privacy
