Everyone interviews Derek Ross about Nostr. We talk about what Nostr has done to him.
Builder. Community organizer. No Social Media — just Nostr, and a vision for an internet nobody can ban.
In this episode: what Nostr really is, why governments are proving his point in real time, how he built a business with someone whose face he's never seen, and why Nostr's own founder showed up to build with him.
