 Russian Nostr:

Make Money Off Telegram's CEO being Jailed!?

I must say this first:
I promote the USE of cryptocurrency, and less so gambling on price.

However,
it's a struggle to get people to give a shit about freedom tech.

So,
With this extreme pessimism in mind, I pitch this amazing social network as an investment.

Bastyon is dubbed the "Russian Nostr", 
Unlike Nostr, which is easily banned by Russian & Chinese authorities because it uses websockets to relays with known government domains… Bastyon nodes use torrents for files which functions completely independent of government DNS and works on nodes with constantly changing IPs.

Given the effectiveness at Bastyon’s proven ability to penetrate government firewalls in China and Russia, we can essentially guarantee that Bastyon will beat out Farcaster, Nostr, and Lens for the RUSSIAN MARKET when many Russians won’t or can’t even access the competition.  In fact, even many US Big Tech companies are completely shut out of Russia.  Even if just 1 or 2% of Telegram’s userbase moves over to posting on Bastyon, the coin would have to dramatically increase to even allow them to post daily.

Let's dive in to this trend:

 Hmmm one could even say Bastyon will be the last.... bastion of free speech

*ding ding* 
 Nice idea. Have you ever heard of Reticulum? The app 'Sideband' is worth playing with. 
 The UI is appalling, NGL. Way too cluttered.

But it's as stable as granite, and the messages get through no matter what

 Yeah of course, a lot of people in our group recommend it.  But I think it needs servers to avoid the both people online issue 
 I thought Nostr was the most censorship resistant protocol 🤔 
 It depends on how you define censorship

Is it state-level? There having no government domains helps.

Is it individual? There Nostr wins, as there's no vote on illegal content like Bastyon has for child porn and such 
 Are you saying there is lots of child porn in Bastyon?
HMMMMMMM INTERESTING
