If you agree that the world without idealists is a hollow place why are you trying to get rid of the idealists?

No. Be a idealist. We need more idealists. Life is not worth living if you aren't one.

Almost. Bitcoin is a tool. But Bitcoin, like most things in society, is made out of people. Those who participate matter. Your ideals and dreams are your Direction, but don't make the mistake of thinking Bitcoin or Nostr are destinations or even a requirement for your ideals. There is no "Bitcoin...

That's the reason why I started building colabonate protocols and app as a tool on top of BTC and Nostr so collaborative commerce and cooperation becomes a decentral way of organizing my way of offering the values I can share a free human being.
