Aaron van Wirdum Leaves X (fka Twitter) for Nostr: “The World’s Biggest Bitcoin Circular Economy”

In his Take from yesterday, Frank invited bitcoiners to join Nostr: “The world’s biggest bitcoin circular economy.” I endorse this invitation; Nostr aligns much better with Bitcoin’s original values than — specifically — Elon Musk’s X.

Aaron van Wirdum invites Bitcoiners to join Nostr, which he believes aligns better with Bitcoin's original values than Elon Musk's X.

Highlighting the importance of owning your posts and having a voice in the conversation, van Wirdum points out that Nostr connects posts to users' public keys, unlike X, where the platform can decide to censor users' content. He also notes that Nostr empowers users in shaping the conversation, contrasting it with X's manipulation of its algorithm.

In his view, X is becoming part of the government as Musk enters the White House. Finally, he argues that Nostr provides a superior user experience compared to X, with more interesting insights and less generic content.
