Good stuff
View quoted note →
A censorship-resistant messaging layer, signed by Bitcoin keys, running **parallel** to the money—exactly what we have today.
**Fast-forward to 2020**
A Brazilian developer who goes by @npub1zuua...c2uc read Satoshi’s words, opened a markdown file, and typed:
```
Nostr = Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays
```
He shipped the first relay in weeks. No ICO. No foundation. No roadmap. Just a protocol so simple you can implement it in an afternoon.
**2025: We Are Living Satoshi’s Vision**
Sixteen years after the Bitcoin white-paper, fifteen years after Satoshi’s forum post, we are running **NOSTR LONDON** for over a year now—the meetup that turns a 2010 forum thread into real-world lightning.
Every month coders, artists, podcasters, and cypherpunks pack into the Blockwork Gallery
**"If you use NOSTR, you are ahead of 99.9 % of the Bitcoin curve, not mentioning normies".** - Anon2140
You already own:
- A **decentralised identity** that no platform can ban
- A **contact list with built-in payment rails** (follow = Lightning address)
- **Community relays** you can fund with a subscription zap
- **End-to-end encrypted DMs** that never touch a corporate server
- **Live streaming** that pays the creator per minute
- **Long-form articles** that live forever, signed by your npub
- **Dapps**
**NOSTR is not “another Twitter”**
NOSTR is the **parallel layer Satoshi described**—the free-speech nervous system sitting on top of Bitcoin’s indestructible money.
**We are the early ones.**
It feels damn good to be here—building the thing Satoshi sketched in a forum reply before most of us had heard of Bitcoin.
**Join us.**
