 Both nostr (with @primal_app and @damusapp ) and @Pears_p2p (with @keet_io ) are technologies, open source, new decentralized social networks can be build upon.

 I like the developments of the decentralized social networks like nostr (with @primal and @damus ) & @keet.io (based on pears.com).
(Check podcasts like @TheGuySwann for details). 
I made an comparison in a 6 min video, incl mastodon

 Short, but great session by PrestonPysh 
@preston comparing the value of (Microsoft) stock with #bitcoin.

Because following   the numbers that Preston Pysh uses is a bit of a challenge for non-financial specialists, I have added my notes next to the video. Maybe that also helps others. 

And with Dutch subtitels
