With Bitcoin Integration, Nostr Could Redefine Social Media
By Stephanie Sats

Nostr is an open protocol designed for free speech and communication which could serve as a social media platform that prioritizes user values.
Perhaps, Nostr's decentralized tech could incentivize truthful communication — espcially with the help of Bitcoin.
Nostr allows anyone to run their own relay as a personal server or channel, differentiating it from censorship on platforms like Twitter and Meta, where posts can be removed or frozen. Data is stored on relays, and anyone can build their client to access the internet and broadcast posts with the help of public and private keys.
By integrating Bitcoin, users would be able to leverage an open monetary network over a social communication platform that mirrors the same properties.

Wyoming Legislature Passes Bill Protecting Bitcoin Private Keys From Courts
By BtcCasey

The US state of Wyoming has passed a bill that prohibits citizens from being compelled to disclose their private keys, with the exception of cases where a public key is unavailable or unable to disclose the requisite information with respect to the digital asset, digital identity, or other interest or right.
The bill will apply to private keys utilized as decentralized identities, or any other use cases, and would take effect on July 1, 2023, if signed by the governor.
Wyoming has been a focal point for Bitcoin adoption in the US, and the bill has been welcomed by advocates of private key sovereignty.
