Totally agree. I said exactly the same thing in today's team meeting.

FYI (with reference to #Durov case and beyond):
In France, the use and provision of #cryptographic tools and services are indeed subject to regulation. The relevant legal framework is primarily governed by the “Code de la défense” and the “Code monétaire et financier”.
Under French law, certain cryptographic tools are classified as "dual-use" items, meaning they have both civilian and military applications. This classification stems from historical concerns over national security and the use of strong encryption in military communications.
The importation, exportation, and provision of cryptographic services in France often require prior authorization from the French authorities. Specifically, the use of cryptography for securing communications and data may require either a declaration or an authorization depending on the strength and purpose of the encryption. This is governed by the “Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d'information” (ANSSI), the French National Cybersecurity Agency.
The use of cryptographic systems is regulated under the 1996 decree (modified in 2007) which distinguishes between cryptographic tools that require a simple declaration and those that require prior authorization. For instance:
- #declaration: required for cryptographic tools with basic security measures, such as SSL/TLS for secure website communications;
- #authorization: required for more advanced or military-grade cryptographic tools, where the encryption strength and the potential impact on national security are higher.
French regulations on cryptography are linked to the broader European Union framework on dual-use goods, which includes cryptographic technologies. Specifically, the European Dual-Use Regulation (2021/821), which is a part of the EU’s export control regime, governs the trade of dual-use items, including encryption tools, that can be used for both civilian and military purposes.

#ChatControl is back on the agenda of EU governments. The Hungarian Presidency will gather 'guidance for further work' on the text on September 4th. Governments will discuss 'progress' on October 10th/11th, with endorsement expected on December 12th/13th.
This highlights why a protocol like #Nostr is crucial. It’s also a reason to appreciate and support the work of people like @npub1zuu…c2uc.

Changes remain the most frightening, necessary, and exciting thing a human being can experience.

For years, I've dreamed of a connected system that gives power back to creators, moves away from centralized control, and uses Bitcoin for transactions. Watching it become reality is as exciting as when I first read Antonopoulos's work. 🧡

There are Bitcoiners who don’t have a NOSTR profile.
Psychopaths.

Just back from Riga with a new mission: using and spreading NOSTR. ‘Cause we can't predict a centralized system's exact path, but we can move away from it through decentralization.

Yep! Too bad that our society has prioritized technological advancement over social equity. We've created incredibly sophisticated financial technologies, but haven't solved basic issues of economic fairness. The credit system, while convenient, has led to issues like widespread personal debt, predatory lending, and financial instability for many individuals. Bellamy's system aimed to avoid these pitfalls. In that system, the "credit" wasn't a loan but rather an allocation of resources. Citizens weren't borrowing money they'd have to pay back with interest. Instead, they were accessing their share of the nation's wealth, eliminating the concept of personal debt as we know it today. Rather antithetical indeed.

Let's end on a high note (and beyond) with my fav #Jack(s). ‘Cause energy is the best level of money.
@npub1sg6…f63m, Jack Maller, Odell, Max Kei and Grant Gilliam envision the future of #Bitcoin in business.
