A Bold Leap Forward: Why I’m Leaving Telegram, X, and More for Nostr, Hive, and SimpleX
You’ve been asking for the one place to follow me. Well, after a month of deep research, soul-searching, and wrestling with the platforms I’ve called home, I’ve made a hard pivot. My time, energy, and fight for freedom will now live on:
This isn’t just a switch—it’s a rebellion against censorship, a reclaiming of the crypto soul I’ve championed for years, and a stand for the decentralized future we deserve. Here’s why this matters, why it’s personal, and why you should join me.
The Breaking Point: Censorship and Betrayal
For years, Telegram was my universe—my work, my global Ingress adventures, my connection to a community I believed in. I poured my heart into it, advocating for privacy, decentralization, and the wild, open spirit of Web3. But the shift to TON exclusivity, the sidelining of diverse crypto ecosystems, and the aggressive censorship of open dialogue gutted that vision. X followed suit, throttling my voice when it dared to challenge the status quo. My posts vanished, my reach choked—silenced not for breaking rules, but for speaking truth.
This isn’t just a platform problem; it’s a betrayal of principles. Telegram’s ranking slid from the top 10 to 18th, a glaring sign that narrowing our lens isn’t winning. X’s corporate grip tightened, proving it’s no safe haven either. I refuse to let my voice—or yours—be muzzled by platforms that once promised freedom but now bow to control.
Why Nostr, Hive, and SimpleX?
I didn’t just pick new platforms; I chose a new battlefield. Here’s why these three stand out:
Nostr: This isn’t your typical social media—it’s a decentralized protocol where censorship crumbles. No central overlord, just relays I can choose to carry my words. My posts live as long as one relay stands with me. It’s raw, it’s crypto-native, and it’s where the fight for free speech thrives.
Hive: User-friendly, chronological, and open to bold voices, Hive lets me reach a broader crowd without algorithms burying my message. It’s not perfect—centralized risks linger—but it’s a bridge to bring more into this fight.
SimpleX: Privacy isn’t a buzzword here; it’s the core. No user IDs, no metadata leaks—just secure, one-to-one or group chats for the real conversations. This is where we strategize, connect, and rebuild away from prying eyes.
These aren’t just tools; they’re a return to the roots of crypto: autonomy, privacy, and power in the hands of individuals, not corporations or elites.
What’s at Stake
This shift isn’t about me—it’s about us. The soul of decentralization is under attack. Telegram’s push for a WeChat-style empire, X’s slide into digital conformity—they’re abandoning the resistance we signed up for. I’ve seen my Dubai interviews shelved, my podcast ignored, while less principled voices got amplified. It’s disheartening, but it’s also a wake-up call. If we don’t fight now, we’ll lose the essence of what made crypto revolutionary.
I’m not just leaving platforms; I’m leaving behind a mindset that accepts compromise. Nostr, Hive, and SimpleX aren’t perfect, but they’re a step toward reclaiming what’s ours—a space where privacy reigns, where dialogue isn’t dictated, and where TON, XMR, TRX, and every crypto can coexist, not compete under a gatekeeper’s thumb.
The Cost and the Call
This means big changes. Unless others step up to run them, my Discord, Matrix, and Telegram channels will likely close or stagnate. X will fade from my focus too. It’s a risk—rebuilding an audience from scratch isn’t easy—but silence isn’t an option. I’d rather die trying to be free than live muted.
To Telegram’s Durov, my disappointment cuts deep. Your legacy hangs in the balance—address TON’s direction, or watch it drift from the greatness it could’ve been.

#TheRealDigitalResistance
This is more than a platform switch—it’s a movement. We’re not just users; we’re warriors for a decentralized future. Nostr for uncensored truth, Hive for broader reach, SimpleX for unbreakable privacy. Together, we can make TON great again—not as a solo act, but as part of a vibrant, inclusive crypto tapestry.
Fight to be free, or die trying.
Let’s build something better—together.
