00:00Picture an internet that's free, decentralized, and puts you in control, not corporations, not governments, just you.
00:07Bitcoin and Noster are two revolutionary technologies that could make this vision a reality.
00:12In this video, we'll explore.
00:15Why Bitcoin and Noster are poised to reshape the internet, how they work together, and what makes them the future of online freedom.
00:23Buckle up for a journey into a decentralized world with a few fun facts along the way.
00:28Let's start with Bitcoin. You know it as a cryptocurrency, but it's so much more.
00:33It's a decentralized financial system, launched in 2009 by the Mysterious.
00:38Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin runs on a peer-to-peer network with no central authority.
00:44It's powered by blockchain, a tamper-proof ledger where every transaction is verified by thousands of nodes worldwide.
00:51Why does this matter for the internet?
00:53Bitcoin offers a way to send value money, assets, you name it, without banks or middlemen.
00:59It's like digital cash for the internet, uncensored and borderless.
01:04Imagine paying for content tipping creators.
01:07Or buying goods globally with no fees to PayPal or Visa, just pure peer-to-peer exchange.
01:13Now enter Noster short for notes and other stuff transmitted by relays.
01:17Created in 2021 by a developer named FiatJaf, Noster is a decentralized protocol for communication.
01:25Think of it as the foundation for a new kind of social media, messaging, or even blogging platform, unlike Twitter or Facebook, which rely on centralized.
01:34Servers that control your data.
01:36Noster uses relays servers anyone can run to share messages, posts, or files.
01:41Your identity on Noster is just a cryptographic key pair, not an email or phone number, so you're in charge of your privacy.
01:48No.
01:49Single entity can ban you, censor your posts, or sell your data.
01:54So why are Bitcoin and Noster the future of the internet?
01:58First, they're censorship-resistant.
02:00Centralized platforms like YouTube or Reddit can delete accounts or suppress content based on policies or pressure.
02:07Noster's decentralized relays mean no one can shut you down if one relay bans you, others will still carry your messages.
02:15Bitcoin's blockchain is similarly unstoppable.
02:18No government can freeze your funds if you hold your own keys.
02:22Together, they create an internet where speech and value flow freely.
02:26Second, they empower users.
02:28Today's internet is a walled garden.
02:30Big tech companies monetize your data, control what you see, and take a cut of every transaction.
02:35Bitcoin lets you pay or get paid directly.
02:39No middleman skimming fees.
02:40Noster lets you own your social presence.
02:43Followers and posts are tied to your keys, not a platform.
02:48If a Noster app shuts down, you can move to another without losing your network.
02:52It's like owning your own digital house instead of renting from Meta or Google.
02:56Third, they work together like peanut butter and jelly.
02:59Bitcoin integrates with Noster.
03:01Through the lightning network, Bitcoin's layer for instant, near free transactions.
03:07On Noster, you can zap someone a micropayment in Bitcoin to tip for a post, fund a project, or reward great content.
03:15Imagine tipping a blogger a few cents in Bitcoin for an awesome article, all within a Noster app, with no bank or app store taking a cut.
03:22This creates a new economy for creators, where value flows directly from fans to artists, coders, or educators.
03:29How?
03:30Do they actually work together?
03:33Picture this.
03:34You post a video on a Noster-based platform using your private key to sign it.
03:39Someone loves it and zaps you 1,000 Satoshi's Bitcoin's smallest unit over the lightning network.
03:45The payment is instant, costs a fraction of a cent, and goes straight to your wallet.
03:49The transaction is logged on Bitcoin's blockchain for security, and the post leaves on Noster's relays, accessible to anyone.
03:58No corporation controls the interaction, and no one can deplatform you.
04:03It's a glimpse of an internet where users, not gatekeepers, call the shots.
04:08Why is this the future?
04:09Because the current internet is creaking under centralization, data breaches, like the 2023 Twitter hack exposing millions of accounts, show.
04:19The risks of centralized servers, ad-driven platforms push divisive content to keep you scrolling,
04:25and payment processors can block accounts for political reasons.
04:29Bitcoin and Noster flip this model.
04:31They're open-source, community-driven, and build to last.
04:35Bitcoin's network has never been hacked in 16 years, and Noster's simplicity makes it adaptable for everything from social media to secure messaging.
04:45Now, some fun facts.
04:47Did you know Bitcoin's lightning network can handle millions of transactions per second, dwarfing Visa's 65,000?
04:55Or that Noster's name was inspired by nostalgia for a freer internet?
04:59Here's a wild one.
05:01Jack Dorsey, Twitter's co-founder, is a huge Noster fan and has funded its development.
05:06And get this Noster apps like Damus already let you zap.
05:10Bitcoin, two friends, making tipping as easy as liking a post.
05:14Bitcoin and Noster aren't just tech, they're a movement.
05:17They give you control over your money, your voice, and your data.
05:21Together, they're building an internet that's open.
05:24Resilient and user-driven.
05:25The future isn't centralized servers and corporate gatekeepers.
05:30It's Bitcoin's unstoppable ledger and Noster's free-flowing relays, ready to join the revolution.
05:36Grab a Bitcoin wallet, generate a Noster key, and step into the internet's next chapter.
