 Bitcoin has the luxury of time far more than Nostr does.

Why?

Because fiat money is actively collapsing. The need for bitcoin is stronger, and while it’s a more significant change (money is the base language) it’s got time on its side.

Nostr on the hand, if it doesn’t achieve some sort of escape velocity in the next 2-5yrs, is going to be relegated to the fringe because centralised providers are “good enough” for most people, and/or other networks will emerge (see the work TBD is doing for DIDs, and there’s much more).

The mistake is to think their paths are equivalent. They’re not. Bitcoin has a century to win. Nostr…a decade or two. Or somewhere thereabouts. 
 🤝 Well I'm building a relay to help nostr flourish. Thank you for entertaining our conversation and your insightful replies. We're in this together even if we may disagree on some things.
