Former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden said in late January that he has been dealing with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) since pre-2013, and he has “never seen it feel as powerful as it does now on Nostr.” What Happened: “Most people’s experience with Bitcoin payments — if they even have it — is a 30-60 minute wait for mining + two-plus block confirmations, and a fee that made it feel dumb to send less than $20,” he wrote on Nostr, as shared by a Twitter user.
