β€œPrivacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age". Those words, written in 1993 by Eric Hughes in The Cypherpunk Manifesto, became the DNA of Bitcoin, and now, of Mostro 🧌 Privacy is not about hiding. It’s about choosing what to reveal, when, and to whom. Mostro lives here. Each order, each key, each message is ephemeral by design. No surveillance, no gatekeepers, no KYC. That’s what cypherpunks meant when they said: β€œWe write code.” ⚑ Read the roots of this ethos: πŸ‘‰ cdn.nakamotoinstitute.org/docs/cypherpunk-manifesto.txt πŸ‘‰ mostro.network image
⚑️ Every trade in Mostro 🧌 begins with an order, a signed Nostr message visible to any peer. When a seller pays the lightning invoice, the Lightning payment is locked in a hold invoice until both confirm. No custodians, no middlemen. Just protocol logic. ⚑️ πŸ‘‰
⚑ Code has no borders, no office hours. Bitcoin proved it, and Mostro 🧌 brings it to peer-to-peer trade. While banks ask for forms, code just runs. That’s programmed freedom. ⚑

πŸ•―οΈ 31/10/2008: Do you remember? #Satoshi lit the flame of freedom. A spark that turned into #Bitcoin. 17 years later, Mostro 🧌 keeps that flame alive ⚑, building the peer-to-peer world that Satoshi envisioned: without banks, without intermediaries, without permission.
