I was invited to the Global Bitcoin Summit in Nashville last fall, hosted by HRF, thanks to my efforts with Nostr. There, I listened to incredible stories of people using bitcoin as a monetary tool in life or death situations. I was fully orange pilled and purple pilled years before, however listening to these people tell their stories solidified my mission in what I'm doing. Hearing people tell their tales of peril, using bitcoin as a monetary tool, a vehicle for freedom, well that was surreal.

These people need Nostr more than I do. Millions and millions of people around the world need Nostr more than I do. I believe most people in the world need Nostr more than they know that they do, but humans have a problem seeing outside their social circles and outside of their own echo chambers. I learned that it's hard to convince people that they need freedom. You can't do that. They have to see it and experience the need for it themselves.
