I love how with #nostr has successfully decoupled web of trust from signing events.

In the old days, this was called PKI (public key infrastructures) where various trust cartels, signed ‘certificates’ (which is really them signing your events, not you).

Now we have two permissionless ‘trust’ mechanisms at our disposal: Proof of Work for transactions, Web of Trust for events.

This is why I come to #nostr - to break up the old models. nostr:note19lgdrz9dq0v5aw4n043ad8sr09px3slv9tvknen9j268hzmtuuvs28r858
