Traditional social media algorithms have become masters at hijacking our attention and reprogramming our minds to be passive consumers rather than active creators. This keynote will explore how these manipulative forces are eroding our natural instincts, and dive into whether Nostr can help us break free and reclaim our creativity.
This keynote will dive into whether Nostr and similar technologies can help us break free from the grip of algorithmic control and rediscover our innate ability to shape our own digital experiences and online communities.
By understanding the mechanics behind social media's exploitative design and leveraging new models that prioritize user autonomy, we can reclaim our minds and rediscover the joy and fulfillment of being active creators, rather than passive consumers.
So, here's the deal. I was working on this music project for the European Union, trying to create a coin for the music industry (shitcoining :/). That's when I first encountered Bitcoin, and it blew my mind. It sparked something inside me, and I realized that filmmaking was the perfect medium to showcase the true essence of Bitcoin. You see, filmmaking lets me go beyond just music. It's a way to engage all your senses and truly bring stories to life. And that's exactly what I want to do with Bitcoin—show people what it's about in a way that resonates with them. It's not just some nerdy stuff; it's a game-changer that affects people's lives in so many different ways. The best part of my journey is getting to know people and discovering how Bitcoin has transformed their lives. Each story is a testament to the power of this decentralized currency, and I'm honored to be the one behind the camera, capturing these incredible narratives. So, let's go on this cinematic adventure together. Join me as we uncover the untold stories of Bitcoin, revealing its impact on the world and capturing the hearts and minds of everyone along the way. It's gonna be one hell of a ride, and I can't wait to share it with you.
