​This week we will have a discussion group about the nature of Crypto and our relationship with others via our technological devices.

​Blockchain technology with its self sovereign nature, minimal censorship, micro transaction capacity, and reputation tracking would make the perfect combination for a new social media medium. But everyone is still in bed with Big Tech, what would it take for this relationship to change?

​Some questions about the Nature of Blockchain,

​* What is Blockchain Supposed to become?

​* Where is the value of Blockchain derived from?

​* What can you personally use Blockchain for besides scams and speculation?

​Some questions about the Nature of Social Media,

​* What does your ideal social media protocol/platform look like?

​* If you could have a Super Intelligent AI design your social media feed, how would you instruct it?

​* What conversations do you need or want to be having but aren't?

​Background:

​This is part of the Nostr series of workshop Paul is Hosting with Bitcoin Bay / Blockchain Devs United.

​I have run 7 Nostr workshops so far, and have realized I have produced more a lecture or social club rather than onboarding people to some revolutionary protocol.... and that begs the question, what revolution are people expecting from these "protocols"?

​Lastly, please ask yourself **What would you do if you have 10x more agency?**
