I think that one of the big lessons we will relearn this century is the proper place of trust. The internet, social media, the culture war, and Bitcoin all play a role in this. There are four places where trust should lie:
- God
- Family (nuclear and, to a lesser extent, extended)
- Real life friends
- Close knit, local community
What we're seeing now the consequence of eschewing these things and putting our trust in large faceless institutions, oversized governments, and international corporate entities.
Yes, this is why nostr is so powerful. By providing a platform upon which trustful economic transactions can take place, people will regain trust in each other, and the fear-mongering foundations used to push people toward authoritarians will no longer work!
Nostr destroys consumer demand for statism.
