They\u2019re partnering with Crypto . com, integrating their token CRO into the ecosystem as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal is clear, monetize the platform and attract new users. But let\u2019s be real this approach is unlikely to succeed in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of doubling down on centralized infrastructure and questionable shitcoins, Truth Social would be better off embracing open protocols. A smarter move would be to build a Nostr client, spin up a Nostr relay, and maybe even contribute to a Nostr-based media hosting platform or collaborate with projects like Nostr . build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? Because Nostr isn\u2019t just a social network it\u2019s a protocol built around Bitcoin-native tipping (like zaps via the Lightning Network). That\u2019s a real incentive system, grounded in actual value, not speculative tokens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Truth Social, in its current form, is boring. GEMS might add some short-term novelty, but it won\u2019t solve the deeper issues. Meanwhile, Nostr offers openness, decentralization, and financial tools that actually work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nostr isn\u2019t just the better option, it\u2019s the inevitable winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rumble.com\/v6y9yke-devin-nunes-devin-nunes-reveals-the-document-the-ds-was-looking-for-was-hid.html?e9s=src_v1_mfp\">https:\/\/rumble.com\/v6y9yke-devin-nunes-devin-nunes-reveals-the-document-the-ds-was-looking-for-was-hid.html?e9s=src_v1_mfp<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<br>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/media.letsfo.com\/image\/truth-social-gems.VIR3\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.letsfo.com\/images\/2025\/08\/30\/truth-social-gems.webp\" alt=\"truth social gems\" border=\"0\"><\/a>\n<br>\n<br>\n\n\n\n<p>\n    Note ID:\n    <br>\n    <code id=\"nostrNote\" style=\"word-wrap: break-word; white-space: normal;\">note1hurjrgsku25tf42gwewypqwg9j2jmzjwlr9dkyl2f505z6lm2y9s47h24u<\/code>\n    <br>\n    <button onclick=\"copyToClipboard('nostrNote')\">Copy<\/button>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/btcpay.letsfo.com\/apps\/cyXxp1RKxQnN8bpQJjvwSEHjXbP\/pos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/images\/zapmar.png\"><\/a>Post#465\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Truth Social is planning to launch a token called GEMS, a so-called reward system for user engagement on its platform.
