Leave Big Tech Behind — Building a Nostr-First Future with Paul Keating

Paul Keating joins me to discuss Nostr, a decentralized open protocol for social media and other forms of online communication, the power of owning your online identity using key pairs, how zaps are revolutionizing creator monetization, what life is like at the Bitcoin Jungle in Costa Rica, home births, and parenting as a digital nomad.

Paul Keating is the head of growth at Primal and is living in the Bitcoin Jungle of Costa Rica.
