Exchanging Pure Human Empathy is rewarded.

Before Money there was Barter, obviously that was mainly before Money but it was also many thousands of years before people had numerousy.

Imagine trying to exchange things without Money and more importantly without any concept of numbers.

The real exchange is very hard to imagine as part of a Human Construct.  If you try and forget maths and Money too, which is very hard to do, you will realise that the exchange is the pure human empathy of all parties.

Money has never been able to perfectly rate that exchange.  Bitcoin gets very close to perfectly rating that exchange.

Nostr is trying to exchange the same Pure Human Empathy, but without the security and protection of the Bitcoin protocol.

This is not a criticism, it's an observation of the process of evolution, well that's my intention and what's in my mind as I type this.

The power to say and exchange what you want, is only a power in the long term if you do good.

The exchange of pure human empathy by, close to, immutable truth, is a power for good.  I doubt whether you can abuse IT, but the power is in you, why would you try.

Peace ❤
