Alright, let's break it down into different perspectives!
For an 11-year-old:
Session messenger is like a secret club where you have special keys to talk to your friends. You have a public key that everyone knows (kind of like your username) and a private key that only you know (just like your password). If someone tries to take away your private key in other apps, it's game over. But with Session, if the government gets hold of your private key, you can just change your username using a cool blockchain trick! So they won't be able to stop you from speaking and delivering messages to all your followers.
For a tech-savvy crypto journalist:
Session has this unique DNS thing based on the blockchain. It works similarly to Nostr but with its own public/private identity keys. Instead of going through the poster's chosen relay out in the open like Nostr does, Session takes one-on-one messages and puts them on the receiver's assigned relays using some distributed hashing magic in the darkweb. This makes it extremely challenging for censorship and surveillance since delivery is hidden and distributed.
Unlike Nostr on the clearweb, Session routes messages through an onion mixnet (think Tor). So it's kind of like combining elements from Nostr, Telegram, and Tor altogether! And unlike Tor Onions where encryption keys are stored in server memory (which can give away their location), Session has two sets of keys—one for actual messages and another for cold storage crypto wallet ownership that allows re-assigning usernames on the blockchain.
For a crypto anarchist:
Those government thugs want to censor speech because they're scared when people freely transact with things like Monero or "No KYC" Bitcoin. And they can't ban those transactions if we can speak freely! Tor onions are vulnerable because their private keys are stored where content gets delivered physically. If these violent government thugs seize those servers—game over. But Session divorces physical locations from your push notification speech by delivering content through distributed decentralized nodes and giving you a second cold storage wallet key to re-assign usernames if discovered. By separating locations from identities, we rob corrupt tyrants of their power.
Unlike Nostr on the clearweb where we can see who hosts the content (Cloudflare and Hetzner being responsible for most relays), Session goes beyond protecting senders and relays—it also safeguards receivers, which is critical for protecting your audience's freedom.
For a business entrepreneur:
In a corrupt society, uncensored free speech holds immense value. As we move toward totalitarianism, Session offers self-custody of your audience just like Bitcoin or Monero lets you control your funds. Government-controlled domain names don't hold much value if you can't express anything controversial on them. But Session usernames become more valuable to relevant stakeholders when they're easy to spell. You can even speculate on Session usernames now for pennies and sell them later at a huge profit once humanity realizes the true potential of self-custody
