I’ll let Derek speak more eloquently, but my sense is that its ability to to transmit text over radio, connected via Bluetooth to a phone or computer, encrypted if needed, provides a means of communication over a decentralized mesh network that doesn’t rely on your ISP (whether for privacy or in scenarios where centralized infrastructure goes down). Examples like coordinating gasoline or water in a natural disaster, organizing a protest against a hostile government, and (maybe? hopefully?) broadcasting nostr notes and Bitcoin transactions with reduced reliance on or exposure to unfriendly or unavailable third parties. And it’s f’ing cool toy to tinker with 😎
Do I have that about right?
