I wonder if they have been able to solve data availability issues. Valuable data/information has to be always available, forever. And the best way to achieve this is to have everyone host the data after it has been published and signed. Anyone who is interested in the data can host it. A fresh data should first be hosted by one server/node(which users can access from) , the data can then be replicated to other servers/nodes.. The servers should gradually access the data from the initial server. The hashes should be replicated immediately and should be enough to gurantee the data integrity which is what anyone that is interested in the authentic data should rely on. Once a hash is verified as authentic, a user can then access the corresponding data from whatever server/node node he chooses. Meanwhile other nodes will have thesame authentic data and hashes while only the right hashes are verified by the network and accepted as the authentic for the right data.
 People could also store only hashes of every data in entire network. Once a data is access from a single node, the hash of the data is compared to the entire network hash before the data is used.
This should make the network decentralized and efficient. I wonder why they skip the word decentralized in the github update... Or is it not? What is it then if not decentralized?




They should also agree on how to avoid dangerous/harmful data without violating the censorship resistant principle... because some days ago I saw very filthy spam that should never have been allowed in the first place. The user/user continued spamming with thesame filthy posts for more than an hour

Yes good point . They never mention the word "decentralized" but regardless the project is open-source and unique compared to its competitors.

The simplest open-source protocol that is able to create a censorship-resistant global "social" network once and for all.
It doesn't rely on any trusted central server, hence it is resilient; it is based on cryptographic keys and signatures, so it is tamperproof; it does not rely on P2P techniques, and therefore it works.

I found NOSTR through Jack Dorsey [CEO of Square] + Jack Mallers [CEO of Strike] .
If you are getting sick of Twitter -- I recommend Nostr, a social media like we have never seen before.

The two people who have helped me understand the rabbit hole more are Andreas Antonopoulos (@aantonop) and Matthew Kratter (@TraderUniversity).

Want to create this post in celebration of both figures for providing clear and valuable Bitcoin Education for free on Youtube.


Feel free to let me know your go-to figures for Bitcoin Education below -- I am open to learn more about Bitcoin.

"We no longer pay people directly"

Erm... I just paid my bus fare in cash today. Not everywhere uses PayPal or fancy fintech apps. Not that they are unavailable or anything, but most places in the world just aren't infected by Silicoin Valley hype culture.

I understand that many places in the world still use cash often. But as the world transitions to a more digital economy your country will eventually stop using cash. Thus my statement remains true: We cannot pay another human unless there is a corporation involved.

This statement is extremely alarming to me. This is fundamentally not right. How can we live in a world where corporations/governments force themselves in every monetary transaction.

The less we use cash, the more we pay people through a corporation. The last remaining use of cash and direct payments is Tipping.
Everything else we must pay through a corporation. We cannot pay another human unless there is a corporation involved. As cash disappears this becomes a final fact -- a corporation involved in every financial transaction you pursue. In each transaction, the corporation is taking their percentage but also controls and monitors your transaction.

It is always easy to look at the past and say 'IF'

- If I have known about Bitcoin in earlier years like 2009 or 2013, I would have invested in Bitcoin.
People said the same IFs in 2013, 2017 and 2020. Now when they are given a great chance to actually invest in Bitcoin at cheap price, they are still saying if about earlier years. But they unfortunately reject to take the chance in this year.

Later, in future, in 2024 or 2028, other people will say the same Ifs
- If I have known about Bitcoin in earlier years like 2022, I would have invested in Bitcoin.

Exactly...I cannot even imagine reading this post in 2028.. Who knows what the future of Bitcoin holds.
