TLS103: Pablo F7Z on Building Nostr Projects, Why Open Networks Win, and The Economics of Nostr

The Kevin Rooke Show

Pablo F7z is the head of R&D at Swan, an advisor to Ego Death Capital, and a builder of too many Nostr apps to name.

In our conversation, we covered Pablo’s fascination with Bitcoin, Lightning, and Nostr, the variety of projects that can be built on nostr, the task of growing the nostr economy for creators and developers, as well as nostr risks and new ideas Pablo is thinking about.
