Bitcoin & Nostr: The Ultimate Freedom of Speech Protocol
summary
Nostr is a simple interoperable protocol that ties posts to cryptographic signatures and portable private keys so identities move between apps without losing followers; OpenSats funds 25+ clients including Damus and Primal. Bitcoin integration enables instant micropayments—social zaps—largest cited zap is 20 million sats (~0.2 BTC), turning likes into money. The network survives Apple/CCP bans because clients merely mirror signed data, and moderation happens at the user edge via mute lists and web-of-trust tools.
