NOSTR, CAPITALISM, & THE FUTURE OF SOCIAL MEDIA with VITOR PAMPLONA (THE Bitcoin Podcast)

“The only barrier that you would not join Nostr right now is because the other platforms have more users and they can use that as leverage today. But that's not going to be the case in many years… those who are starting to get their followers already on Nostr are taking a significant advantage over everybody else because they're to grow faster. And we all know how network effects happen. It just so happens that on Nostr, the network effects themselves are owned by the creator.”

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Vitor Pamplona, the creator of the all-in-one Nostr client for Android, Amethyst.
