The internet made us more connected—and less free.

Our lives moved online.
Our freedom didn’t.

At Bitcoin Park’s Imagine IF, @ODELL argued that the only way to fix it is to make freedom profitable.

Because open protocols don’t scale on donations. They scale on alignment.

I'd argue in person face to face is more connected.

🫡 incentive alignment is key. We are building zapwalled content tools for nostr at fanfares.io . Not only can creators set the price in sats to decrypt their nostr-based content, but they can set a % that referrers can earn by sharing that content. Other npubs become a referrer only after they bu...

VERY important point. This is why third party service providers for personalized trust metrics will need a good monetization model. nostr:naddr1qqc8xetjwe5kxefdwpex7anfv3jhyuedvehhyttsv4e8xmmwv9kxj7n9vskhgun4wd6z6mt9w3exjcmnqyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcprpmhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3ww...

Freedom can be profitable, just never monetarily as rent seeking value extractive models. These models thrive on control, locking people in, capturing attention, and monetizing dependency. They’re exploiting incentives and stealing freedom from us. Freedom builds systems that empower, release con...

If you are lamenting your life moving online, maybe don’t move your money online too…

Peculiar to explain this to United Plantations influencers: in proper #English, "freedom" just means the ability to take some action - regardless of consequences. Even in the most #Orwellian circumstances, everyone has "freedom" to disobey and be punished. What you mean is "liberty" - ability to t...

I’ve also been thinking about this recently. Our lives are in the process of moving online (ie ready player one style) and this is why governments are really pushing for digital IDs and CBDC/stablecoins. This becomes your “home address” and your “taxable income” online. Governments really ...

Freedom is profitable by default, problem is that we don’t live in a free society imho.

"The" answer doesn't exist for practically anything above passive infrastructure. We can barely tell the time😄 "Yeah, that replace(tzinfo) trick is sneaky because it assumes the naive time is already in local without shifting, but if anything else (like SQLite's ISO parse or a later astimezone)...
