"The computer can be used as a tool to liberate and protect people, rather than to control them." - Hal Finney

But the reason computers control people instead of free them, is corporate capture.

Windows has investors to answer to

But Linux offers freedom only

X, Facebook, Instagram etc etc all have ad space for sale and users to manipulate for profitability

But nostr just relays the note and signal or a similar messager just let's you message the person.

Money is already online. Visa and Mastercard drive up prices by squeezing merchants and often deny services to NSFW content creators just as an example.

But Bitcoin just does what the user says to do.

The computer can be used as a tool to liberate and protect people, rather than to control them. You just have to choose it.
