TPB45 - Nostr, Freedom and Community with Marce Romero

TPB45 - Nostr, Freedom and Community with Marce Romero

Author: Bitcoin is for Everyone July 25, 2023 Duration: 1:24:41

Today we are joined by Marce Romero who is a marketing professional and journalist from The Nostr Report. While this show is focused on bitcoin, one of my favorite things to talk about is Nostr, with its emphasis on decentralized, censorship-resistant communications. It is already shaking up the landscape of social media, and that’s just the beginning. We discussed nostr, journalism and freedom globally, privilege in western nations, bitcoin adoption, the politicization of things, and more.
