 We are naturally drawn to those who do things differently, and there’s nothing more exciting than witnessing it live.

Nostr is the ideal place for such forums—a place where censorship is not a concern, but where meaningful participation is guided by simple, fair rules. With its already streaming nostr apps, it has the potential to attract a wide audience—those eager to share their ideas and professionals who can offer real value.

Nostr isn’t just another social platform; it has the potential to evolve into a media powerhouse rooted in values, progress, and open conversation. By fostering a community where diverse ideas are not only welcomed but zapped, Nostr could become the go-to destination for those who want to shape the future.

 You’re in charge, and I can already see how things are going to unfold. People just need to open up. I get the need for privacy, but I want to interact openly, human to human.

I believe Nostr’s biggest feature—its focus on privacy and censorship—could also become a major challenge. It’s a choice between interacting with someone hidden behind layers of anonymity or building trust with others who are more open. I have a feeling people will lean towards trust.

All I can do is share my honest thoughts, support developers with zaps, and engage with notes that resonate with me. You’re doing an incredible job, and I truly appreciate all the hard work you’re putting in. You’re a true warrior.
