When only 1% of people could read and write, they could communicate in a way in which the other 99% could not participate.

Those that couldn't read and write found it difficult to own property as they couldn't read the contracts. They had to rely on third parties for verification. Those that haven't yet learned about private keys rely on platforms to verify the identities that they do not own. The digital content that they publish or purchase is owned by the platforms.

I think we’ve created the simplest, most powerful use-case for Bitcoin and Nostr so far. A decentralised publishing model where: ⚑ Authors upload their audiobooks in minutes ⚑ Readers unlock them instantly with Lightning ⚑ Curators earn sats for sharing great content ⚑ No platforms, no subscriptions, no accounts ⚑ No censorship, no gatekeepers, no middlemen ⚑ Everyone owns what they create β€” and what they buy It’s called Fanfares. One link. One click. Instant sats. A sovereign publishing economy. If this works even once, it will work for everyone: β†’ Audiobook authors β†’ Podcasters β†’ Video creators β†’ Indie game devs β†’ Every independent creator on earth This is how Bitcoin and Nostr go mainstream β€” not through ideology, but through utility. We’re bringing publishing, payments, and discovery back to humans. The future of media is sovereign. And it has began. Find out more πŸ‘‰
