In the physical world, we have power because we can pay for things.
 We can make things happen.
 We can ask others to do work for us.
 We can own land, tools, machines, and goods. We can earn money by doing things for others.
 We can sell what we produce.
 We can own things.
 Money is the mechanism that turns effort into agency. In the digital world, most people still live in a feudal system. There has been no native money and no native ownership. We could create, but not own.
 We could build, but only if we gave it away for free. So something else became the currency. We became the currency. Our time.
Our attention.
Our data. Digital systems had to extract from us in order to be viable businesses.
 To make money they had capture our focus, shape our behavior, and sell access to our minds. Bitcoin is money in the digital world that we can actually own.
 We can use it to pay other directly for their work. Nostr gives us identity and connection that we own.
 No platforms standing between us and the people we choose to connect with. In this new, uncontrollable environment, we can buy digital content with our own money.
 Every payment is a vote for the future that we want to exist. We can own what we create.
 We can sell copies directly to others.
 We can earn Bitcoin for our work. Fanfares.io

Good points, within old Web2 there is most of the time no ownership, of your content, your contacts/followers and no real universal money.

Solo no se equivoca el que no lo intenta.
We thought bitcoin would destroy the bankers. Instead, we had to realize that creating a separate system is the only way to win. You cannot destroy the state. The state can and will destroy itself in due time. Creating opposing systems free of government and davos control is the only way to win. #optout View quoted note →
