Good morning and pura vida, Nostr. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿป๐Ÿค™๐Ÿป

Last week I got introduced to a couple dozen people l'd never met as "the Nostr CEO." I laughed. It's a hilarious meme filled with love, support, and inside jokes from this community. I think about this often. I truly love this community. I do love all of you here so very much.

But here's the thing: Nobody owns Nostr. That's the whole point. There's no board or executive team. No algorithm deciding what you see. No trust & safety team deciding what you can say. This is still a powerful selling point for newcomers.

A protocol can't have a CEO. That's why it works! It's why it's cool! We're just humans being humans without software getting in the way. How it should be. Before corporations broke that.

But deep down we know that we can't just be a decentralized alternative that wins people over. The alternatives need to exist in the ecosystem to make the ecosystem whole, however new ideas with unique features is what will bring in the next wave.

Build the weird. Discover the unique. And when it all just works together, that's our superpower that doesn't exist anywhere else.
