 To @Brisket point re “social capital” 

I believe capital comes in many forms, the 3 major areas being 

- financial 
- skill
- relationship (social)

Investing into a Nostr account with your time, energy, and money, has the potential to have an roi in all 3 

- financial - you can sell products and services to an audience that you build
- skill - by focusing your attention on Nostr it’s inevitable that you develop a new skill set (& given we’re so early it’ll be relatively rare globally)
- relationship - given one is able to interact in public digitally and in a trusted manner, as you only have access to the nsec, as discuss, there’s huge scope to build fruitful friendships (think “play long-term games with long-term people)

As always lots to think through! But from a capital creation perspective, we’re only just scratching the surface of what it means to own your identity, data and audience online
