yes and no. i joined nostr around August 2022, but i didn't see the potential, i didn't understand it, and i laughed at it. i used it for a few notes and then promptly left. i did not return again until Jack started talking about nostr on Twitter around the middle of December. only then, did i understand that the ethos of nostr and bitcoin were aligned. only then did i understand it's value in the symbiotic relationship of the freedom to transact and the freedom to communicate.
