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 Dream." Maybe you are thinking of a voluntaryist dream, or free markets, or a world without violence, etc, but those are not locked to Bitcoin or Nostr or any specific thing.

The dream lives by the people that work to make it real.

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.

You are often combative and condescending. I remember when you were able to get good old memory dealer to flip his lid. It was a beautiful trolling move. But it was trolling. And similarly to what I opened my comment with, when you're right, you're right. And you were right that time. And you've ...

Some people blacklisted nvk, and his products, years ago, avoiding this tragedy.

Those people used their own judgment, not hype or fame, to make decisions.

You can be one of those people, but you need to shed your current method of choosing whom to trust. This is not high school, there are no loyalties.

To be honest, and I've been around as long as you have, You are not someone that I have a lot of trust in for some of the same reasons that I've never trusted NVK. But when you're right, you're right, and you are right about that one.

I always thought the Pubky people were right about that. Just trust the server, don’t trust every single post. But maybe there is a middle ground where people can sign every individual post if it’...

You can still sign anything you want in Pubky, but we try to make it intentional, with purpose, because you also need a good key scheme that allows people to keep keys cold as much as possible.

Signing every note isn't really needed, and it isn't even giving you real data integrity, since every signed note floats alone, without context.

We have a noise-scheme that will allow things like app keys, device keys, for live signing too.

Ah didn't know it, learn about it recently. Why nostr has more users?

My favorite features of Pubky are the ones we are about to ship:

1. Collections - We redefined the concepts of bookmarks, blogs, channels, albums, pin boards, podcasts and all types of sets or series by elegantly combined them into one primitive concept for the network: collections. Coming VERY soon.

2. Locks - "Unlock" any content using any mutual payment method. This brings both ecommerce and a new level of payment coordination to the free web.

3. Graph Views - If you think social graphs or web-of-trust is cool, wait til you see our customizable graph visualizer and start filtering the web, and your peers, with it.

These are not merely cool new features for Pubky App. These are some of the most powerful primitives the open web has ever seen, and the features we demonstrate only scratch the surface of what's possible.

...And these are just a portion of the projects we are working on in our effort to provide the Atomic Economy to humanity. We know what to do, and we'll keep building it out until it is crystal-clear why you should join the next web.

Why not unite forces to improve nostr? Why ry to reinvent the wheel?
