"Bitcoin is freedom of money; Nostr is freedom of everything else."

The idea is that Nostr, the purple pill, is the ideal companion to Bitcoin, the orange pill. I asked Martii yesterday on stage, knowing that he would answer that. And it’s true: You can’t even have freedom money if you don’t have freedom of communication. Just think about it — if I can’t freely communicate with you, then how am I supposed to pay you? Nostr is the natural complement to Bitcoin.

But yes, every Bitcoiner should be on Nostr. People will hate me for saying this, but it means that not everyone in Bitcoin is here for the right reasons. They don’t have the right ethos. They’re here for number-go-up, for green candles, for personal vanity and riches… and not for freedom. Because if you understand decentralized money, then why wouldn’t you get decentralized communication?
