For most people who use pre installed operating systems , it is hard to imagine that #nostr is permission less !
Just like an operating system, nostr ID is a local affair ... You decide how to guard you credentials ..
In essence , nostr turns internet from an application to an operating system ... The applications that will be written on nostr are beyond imagination just like no one imagined a spreadsheet when Unix came into being ...
For now , during proof of concept phase , most applications are just a retrofit of legacy web .. social , messaging and information paddling are just the initial use cases .. the real applications begin with value exchange among digitally native beings .. they are coming faster than we can imagine :{
