🇵🇾 Nostr Meetup in Asunción: Community, Culture and Good Beer

Yesterday I had the chance to attend the Nostr Meetup, a gathering that brought together enthusiasts of technology, decentralization, and the Bitcoin Paraguay community.

The event took place in a relaxed atmosphere, surrounded by good people, cultural exchange, and of course, craft beer from 🍻 CraftBeerPY.
I had the pleasure of trying the Fernandina, a Blonde Ale with Cascade hops and a pleasant citrus touch: the perfect companion for a conversation about the future of free communication.

🌐 What is Nostr?

For those who couldn’t make it, here are the basics:

Nostr stands for Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays.
It’s an open and decentralized protocol for sharing messages, similar to a social network but with no owners or central servers.
It works with public and private keys, giving you sovereignty over your digital identity.
Messages are transmitted through relays, which anyone can run.
There’s no censorship: if one relay blocks you, you can publish on another.

In short, Nostr is a path toward freedom of expression and resilience in digital communication.

💻 My Personal Experience

I use Primal because it’s very convenient for me:

Works equally well on mobile 📱 and laptop 💻.
Has a simple and straightforward interface.

But the best part of Nostr is that you can choose any client you want: Damus, Amethyst, Iris, Coracle... and they all connect to the same protocol.

🤝 Community and Thanks

Beyond technology, what I value most is the community.
The meetup was a space for cultural exchange, friendship, and collaboration, with the warm hospitality of the 🇵🇾 Bitcoin Paraguay community.

There’s nothing better than talking about decentralization with a good beer in hand. 🍺

🚀 Final Reflection

Events like this show that Nostr is not just technology — it’s also culture, community, and a bet on freedom.
Here’s to more gatherings where good ideas and good beer come together.
