bitcoin With #bitcoin you can have a self-custodial wallet that exists on the ledger because it's maintained by multiple nodes. With #nostr, it's possible to have a self-custodial wallet that exists in the network because the data is replicated across redundant relays. In both instances, Tim Bouma Aug 20, 2024, 3:22 PM
nostr This book as dense as hell and near the limits of my reading comprehension, but damn it's good! It was written in the late 60s and early 70s by German philosopher Niklas Luhmann and only published in English in 2017. I feel this book was written for #nostr Tim Bouma Aug 14, 2024, 11:05 AM

bitcoin This is still my absolute favourite ‘architecture’ diagram. I remember when I saw this for the first time over a decade ago. It blew me away.
