Information travels unfairly through markets
Nostr is yet another great example
The status quo would tell you that leaving their platforms is as good as digging your own grave
No reach
No users
No revenue
They even go as far as saying that the UX is so bad on Nostr it’s unusable
But what they’re not doing is admitting counterparty risk
These platforms are owned by companies, these businesses are either public equities, private ownership, or quasi-government, and your and they monetise your attention
It’s been extraordinarily successful
But at what cost?
Do you answer this so I think it’s important to really look inside, to feel, and try to really recognise what is going on, that you’re being stolen from
What’s wrapped up as entertainment, education, investing, sport, lifestyle, parenting, health, shit, your whole life, you’re lead to believe you’re missing out if you’re not involved, not posting, not commenting, not subscribing, not feeding the algorithm
But it’s your attention
Your soul
Your life force
Your energy
A bunch of Very smart humans, the best entrepreneur of a generation, have productised your attention
Deep down you know this feels like shit
Each scroll
Each retweet
Each like
Someone else else’s at your expense
At your cost
To even when the status quo says you’re crazy to look at Nostr in a serious manner
Are they right?
Or is that just the incentive playing out?
For me, it’s very clear
It’s time to take control
Have myself the user in at the centre
Harness all of the fabulous deflation technology
The AI
Bitcoin
To build a sovereign digital experience
Why shouldn’t you get paid to mow your own lawn if it makes the street better?
Indeed, why shouldn’t you get paid for sharing your attention?
In my view, you should
When you look at the building blocks of status quo social media versus user centric Nostr protocol there’s a clear winner
But due to the fact information travels unfairly, most people have no idea, indeed most people have no idea it even exists, it’s even an option
And that’s why we need to Talk about it
To get out there in public
Mention it to your friends
Mention it to your family
Mention it to your random acquaintance in the coffee shop
What I found is everyone has an interest
My bet: it’s because deep down I know they’re all being stolen from
