Yeah, if I were to guess it will be simple and standardized databases. I'm curious who's already building this, bringing it to businesses, and to what extent freedom tech (Nostr?) could / should be involved

2026-07-11 19:11:59 UTC

I feel like there will soon be a huge market for tech that help business build agent-browsable databases (for inventory, services, FAQs, etc).
As well as tech to collect feedback from customers via the customers' agents.
Who's out there thinking about this from a freedom tech perspective I should follow?

How do you think about the limits of what Nostr can and can't be used for?
For instance, if I wanted to set up local and used bookstores with the ability to publish their inventory, so that anyone in the area could search one platform (or ask their agent) to find a book near them, would Nostr be a good use case for that? What are the primary constraints to consider?

We might be at an end of an era, where there will no longer be early adapters of technology, and AI tools like vibe coding become so intuitive that innovations are equally available to everyone at once, independent of aptitude or technical niche. Sort of unheard of throughout the history of technology? The implications of this seem largely positive, but I could be wrong or missing something.

Pro-tip: Tell AI to ask 5 - 10 clarifying questions before generating or editing an image. It turns out it actually has a thought process behind all the inane-seeming choices it makes, and it will spell them out for you to direct beforehand to preempt.

Merchants choosing to accept currencies rather than just not make a sale at all may be a little binary thinking.
I could see a world where merchants offer a discount for transactions made with bitcoin, since both parties save on what would otherwise be more expensive credit card fees. Which incentivizes the spending of Bitcoin. In addition to the reality that the more one spends in Bitcoin on every day expenses, the less spending money has to hold in other currencies.
This is reliant on scaling solutions being more fully built out, but that seems like the primary hurdle to me, as opposed the hard supply cap.
Also, could you elaborate on what you mean by fractional L2? I.e. paper Bitcoin that can be inflated? I think it's possible the market, after a few tough lessons, will learn to value non-fractional L2s over fractional ones in that case.

Realizing the problem is the first step to solving it. While there's no immediate actionable step, I think it lies somewhere in using Bitcoin and building local communities in order to opt out of fiat politics. Being open minded about how power being misused is indicative of being open minded towards solutions, and possibly even searching for how one can be a part of them. This is 100x times better than believing the legacy media headlines one reads, which is still a huge problem and far closer to the opiate of the masses than not believing them is.
