🚀 Tired of Big Tech controlling your online voice?
🔒 Dive into Nostr: The open protocol revolutionizing social media with Bitcoin!
💡 Unlock censorship-resistant networks, zaps, and the future of decentralized apps.

In this engaging panel from Bitcoin is for Everyone 2025 (B4E 2025) on August 1 in Portland, OR, titled "Networks, Nostr, and the New Frontier," Will Casarin (founder of Damus) and Calvadev (creator of Shopstr) discuss the power of Nostr. Moderated live at the conference, they explore how this decentralized protocol is reshaping the internet.

The talk covers Nostr's origins as a simple, flexible alternative to centralized platforms, its synergy with Bitcoin for payments and apps, key innovations like zaps and peer-to-peer integrations, and trade-offs between user experience, censorship resistance, and scalability. Insights include why Nostr appeals to builders, the role of Lightning Network for micropayments, and concerns over stablecoins versus true self-custody.

What You'll Learn:
• How Nostr revives the decentralized ethos of the early internet.
• The basics of Nostr's protocol and its resistance to censorship.
• Why Bitcoin and Nostr pair perfectly for peer-to-peer transactions.
• The revolutionary impact of zaps on online incentives and Lightning adoption.
• Trade-offs in e-cash vs. full self-custody for onboarding new users.
• Emerging trends like peer-to-peer meshes and community-focused apps.
• Hurdles to mainstream adoption and strategies for growth.

From AI integrations to viral apps beyond social media. Trade-offs in Nostr's ecosystem highlight the balance between simplicity for developers and robust features for users – while it's incredibly flexible and accessible, building viral apps requires overcoming network effects from established platforms. E-cash offers smooth onboarding but risks centralization, whereas pure Lightning self-custody prioritizes freedom at the cost of complexity for newcomers.

Looking ahead, Nostr could catalyze a cyberpunk future with seamless Bitcoin integrations, smaller communities over global feeds, and algorithms tailored by apps. Success means widespread adoption in products, reducing reliance on advertisers and empowering creators through value-for-value models.
