X Is Fiat

Follow Aaron on our or X.

In his article from yesterday, Frank invited Bitcoin users to join Nostr: “the world’s largest Bitcoin circular economy.” I support this call; Nostr matches Bitcoin’s original values ​​much better than – specifically – Elon Musk’s X.

In the same way that the money in your bank account doesn’t really belong to you, your posts on X don’t belong to you either – in contrast, your Nostr posts are linked to your public key. Like PayPal blocking money transfers, X can decide to censor what you want to say, but no single entity has that authority over Nostr. While X manipulates its algorithm to guide the conversation like the Fed manipulates interest rates to guide the economy, Nostr returns that power to users. Now that “President Musk“He entered the White House de facto, you could even say that X became part of the government.

And perhaps most importantly – at least for me personally – my experience at Nostr is now better than what I experience at X… admittedly, low-key. Although I occasionally find interesting insights into Nostr, most of what I see on the platform formerly known as Twitter these days are generic TikTok-style memes, rage-baiting, and nonsense taken from Caecius Maximus himself.

I still post on X occasionally, but I’ve increasingly withdrawn from the conversation there and will likely continue to do so. Meanwhile, I found myself spending more time in Nostr (specifically through… We give and Amethyst), and I expect this will only increase.

Nostr is certainly still niche at the moment, and will probably continue to be niche compared to Status.

But I’ll gladly accept the specialized Nostr reference over the noisy X-blocks.
