I do not.  yet. 

 Around 12 maybe. 

 I’m not one of them. 
what is the gravity of this?

 13, I just recounted 

 Without Inscripting bs to the timechain. 

 Bullish on Microstrategy Orange. Now we don’t have to use Nostr thankfully. 😅 

 Isn't that the main driver? Isn't that what makes Nostr so different and so cool? The identity just exists.  

 Where can I read more about this? 

 Not sure how much writing there is on the topic. Just think about how you sign in to mainstream apps today and how your user identity is handled there. Then think about how you sign into nostr apps/clients 

 IPSec 

 I don't 
tell me more

 Freedom at the protocol level. That’s the big deal. 

 Isn’t that the whole reason a lot of us are here, no longer are we a slave to the whims of the application, we can just jump to another at will 

 It’s a pretty good reason 

 I think it was @jb55 who first called Nostr a refugee camp of exiles and the censored 

 I thought an inscription was required to preserve and verify identity. Someone really popular on X told me that 🤔 

 Yup. When I realized that **every** single event is signed by an identity (npub) 

 Identity is a Layer2 in Nostr.  

 To be honest, I still have no idea what people mean by identity 

 Identity in this context is an abstraction that links a signature to a person or entity 

 What's wrong with just a signature? I don't want an identity 

 I hear ayahuasca can help you dissolve your identity 

 I want to try it so badly. 

 Wait, I thought that was the point? 

 Indeed 

  a 

 I don't get it, so subtract me. 

 A facebook account is different than a twitter account. On nostr, all the application use the same identity at the protocol level 

 I don't know what a protocol level is. 

 Nostr is the protocol, so your identity is determines at that level. You have same identity (account) at the application level (client = damus, primal…) 

 It’s a unified approach  

 There may be a better option available 🤣

 What is identity 

 nostr:note1spxvfvau2cfdasr4mt6vj5lp8aaww8x0scdmu69eglk3u4n7vvcql8dpza 

 But what is nostr without the application layer?  

 Wow I need to ponder this!🧐
