For context, we recently hosted a Hivemind Ventures LP/Portfolio day, where we showcased a variety of presentations. The Nostr panel was particularly good so I decided to release it publicly.
This was a fantastic discussion about the current state and potential of Nostr! We discuss:
- Why Nostr feels like the early Internet
- How Nostr (Nostr Wallet Connect) serves as the universal messaging layer for Bitcoin/Lightning Network payments
- How Nostr’s open identity and social graph allows apps like Fountain to build new experiences like discovering the podcasts your friends listen to
- Why Nostr is so much more than social media. The real promise of Nostr is a social Internet where data is open and users control their own identity, allowing for a Cambrian explosion of new social apps. Imagine automatically finding your friends’ reviews on goodreads, listens on Spotify, and highlights on Kindle
- How Nostr compares to other projects (e.g. Bluesky and Farcaster) attempting to build open publishing for the web. Why Nostr is the only neutral solution for bringing user-owned identity and open data to any web app today
- What business models might be viable for startups building in and around Nostr
- Will Nostr bring more people to Bitcoin or will Bitcoin bring more people to Nostr?
