I'll leave this with you.

YouTube just put this old school soul train video from the 80s in my feed. Damn if this isn't TikTok. Everyone doing different dances to the same "sound". And even a sudo swipe visual. The more things change the more they stay the same.

The more planning I about our next season of the pod, the more exciting it becomes. One of the things I'm most excited about is featuring #v4v music/artist on the show. Kinda like the old CW shows... If you're old enough to remember those shows. Shoutout to Smallville.

Today was one of those days were I am too bullish about #nostr to even think straight. I've decided that #nostr is actually more important than #bitcoin when it comes to fixing the world. We the #plebs have spent generations leaving under the filter or algorithm is one group or another. Think about what is the Catholic church if not an algorithm that decided what was the truth and what wasn't.

We need nostr because we need to be able to tell the truth directly to one another regardless of it hurts your feelings.

For example I recently discovered a YouTube channel called "The Research Guy". The just of his channel is that most "black" people in America are actually native Americans from tribes that have been scrubbed from the public consciousness. When I first watched a couple of his videos I thought he was full of it. But then I found another YouTube channel with the same theory and information but I liked the way he presented it. Between these two channels they convinced me to do my families genealogy and I discovered my mother's side of the family is definitely native Americans. The Pequot of New England. Ironically they where one of the first tribes to fight the colonist over them counterfeiting their money... Wampum. As I was reading this I couldn't stop laughing. I am descended from people who physically fought inflation of their currency.

Today the "The research guy" made an announcement that he believes his videos are being shadow banned. I am lucky enough to be alive and awake enough where I was able to see this content on YouTube before it was censored and "do my own research". But if they have been able to keep this from me a 40 y/o man, and his mother, what else are they able to simply memory hole. They been running their algorithms on us for a lot longer than the internet. And we all kinda accept that to some degree myself included.

But today it became personal. Today I finish the fight my ancestors started 💜✊🧡

So while we been taking the summer off from the pod, I've been doing a lot of thinking about what is the next evolution of conversation for us to discuss. And lately I've been drawn to nostr. I'm gonna riff some ideas off before while they are still fresh in my head.

#1 Nostr hardware I think companies like umbrel and start 9 are fundamentally flawed. They are selling specialized hardware to run docker images of servers. I think they should be selling specialized hardware to run a suite of Nostr only applications. I shouldn't have to docker compose my applications. They should run from any compatible nostr relay I point my client to. And should I have to lose years of data because some company went out of business. Anyone should be able to pick up where'd the failed business left off. I should never lose an application to time again if I willing to run my own nostr relay.

nostr as an OS

Building on the above idea this means that we have a decentralized operating system. Where there is no such thing as "that app doesn't work any more"

sovereign nostr businesses

I think after some the major projects shutting down like mutiny, we need a new category of nips. I think we need the nip-b. Where b stands for business. The nips in addition to locking in A set of events to power application. They also present a business model of the application can self fund itself. These Nostr businesss them become something like guilds w/o the geographic monopoly. If these businesses operate on Bitcoin only, then under which jurisdiction is it taxed if at all? These businesses would truly be sovereign as long as they only do business with other sovereign entities. I'll admit this one is a stretch that brings me to last thought.

I think I've come up with one

I've been working on this idea for the last 6 months and I think this would fall under my definition on nip-b. What I'm proposing is a decentralized ad network that anyone can opt-in and opt-out at will turning your attention into a commodity. So I guess it's it's the ad marketers guild working to every one the most value for their attention. I imagine the best in the industry that are drawn to nostr as well will be able to help make the best decentralized ad network that removes the scammy parts of the business no one is incentized to ruin their business. This is very similar to Bitcoin mining. They all are working in the service of the commodity Bitcoin. And no one is incentivized to run a mining operation that would be detrimental to Bitcoin.
