In this episode I catch up with my long-time tech friend Yanda Erlich. We originally met at Google almost two decades ago and have been friends on the journey building and investing in technology startups. We talk about our journey of understanding bitcoin together and our current hypotheses about artificial intelligence and its potential existential threat to Google.

But that’s all background to the Nostr discussion. I wanted to share my excitement about this new protocol and to hear his fresh-eyes perspective on what’s happening here.

I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation!

“Nout” is a pseudonymous friend of mine. He moves around the internet without revealing his true identity as a way to learn about, test, and to help ensure these tools for freedom are accessible to people who may have an urgent need to use them.

Why is Nostr exciting to you if it’s not privacy-oriented?

2 types of information:

1. Information that should never get exposed

2. Information that should never be suppressed

Each plays an important role in Freedom Tech. Nostr is focused on the second.
