My big takeaway from Nostrica 2023 is the nearly unanimous focus on enabling the sovereign individual.

While the phrase sovereign individual still rings awkwardly in my ear, it conveys an extremely important concept.

Bitcoin, Lightning, and now Nostr exemplify a new counterculture that supports privacy, decentralization, and freedom. This is in stark contrast to the mainstream which seems comfortable giving up privacy to corporations and governments in exchange for convenience and security. I have no idea which group is expanding.
