 Nostr, like Bitcoin, has more in common with the oceans than the land. 
There no roads to map on the sea. We are discovering new uncharted, volatile, and unforgiving waters with both these protocols for managing the vessels carrying our data treasures. 

As in international waters, our crew, our trading partners, and our vessels each have security risks to be mitigated ourselves because no one is coming to save us. Not from our selves, our trusted allies, or our counter-parties' mistakes, which often have catastrophic consequences.
