Instead of a handful of organizations having access to our behavioral data, everyone in the world has it. Advertisers are the least of our concern. We are a very inconvenient subculture for many oppressive regimes intent on defending currency coercion rather than embracing monetary volunteerism. Our data could easily be used to create aggregate behavioral models to inform repressive strategies. That's the black pill I've been choking down for months now. BUT... Life counts most when it is lived out loud. This is our opportunity to make our presence known with cryptographic proof that there were many of us who were on the right side of history. Nostr is the first sovereign settlement in cyber space. We have a boundless and borderless territory. We have voluntarily chosen money. We have culture. We have passionate builders and contributors. Afaic, the job is to build Zion for the awakened. The asleep have FB, Insta, X, YouTube, MSM, etc. If you want to be surrounded by them, go there. That's what they're into. But today this frontier is ours. It is purposeful. And any who find value in what it has to offer are welcome. To me, the size of the population is less important than the passion each of us brings. I'd take any one of you over 100 normies. 💜 That's me though. Hike your own hike, frens. 👣
