Must protect the relays, they will try and take them one day. 

 It’s ok. Outbox model makes that non-problematic. Though it might have a chilling effect on running relays in tyrannical jurisdictions such as North Korea, New York, etc 

 Exactly, check out the Web5 Nostr dapps https://luvnft.com 

 It bothers me that I can’t see it as clearly. 

Like with so many things that have made a difference, I’m attracted to it and like it but don’t know why.

Have to look further into it. 

 follow that instinct
 

 Yeah, I’m still not sure how we keep relays from centralizing over time. 

There might be a solution, though. 🤷‍♂️ 

 Big relays aren’t a huge issue

Nostr is about optionality 

 But if the network coalesces around a handful of large relays, there’s more room for censorship. 

 Outbox
 

 I’ll look into it 🙏 

 No, we're a lot better than they were back then. They didn't have the resources and celebrity support back then. Now Bitcoin has blazed a trail through the wilderness. 

 agreed

 Best time be alive isn’t 

 90% of people don't even understand there is a problem let alone think they need a solution. 

 Or care. Most will use whatever is convenient & what is popular. The same people if they ever acquire bitcoin will not take self-custody either. The notion that millions of people will flood to Nostr because Twitter, FB, TikTok etc are spying & selling user data is purely wishful thinking imo.   

 Yes 

 No, we had no idea 😂 

 Feels like 90s Internet. 

 That’s the sense I get, too. I was there in the 90s. 

 Yeah I dont have internet just like in the 90s. I'm using my brothers wifi for my desktop, they cut my fiber internet *cries in techie* 

 Minus the millions of dollars being made 😭💔

 🎯 

 I even feel like I’m missing out on a lot of nostr stuff 😅 

 I am discovering the [signed events relayed] is the secret sauce. While we are experimenting with a Twitter replacement, the far more powerful model is the open authentic (censorship resistant) orchestration of digital services. New use cases await us! 

 .. with likely the same actually experienced speed of change 😝

crucial to get foundations correct upon which the world can be built 🔥 

 I remember back in the day messing with those websites that gave you credits for doing like surveys and stuff. I wanted to get money from internet strangers so bad. People used to talk about how dogecoin was used by to get tips on social media like more than a decade ago. this the first time I'm actually seeing micropayments being used on social media like this at least 

 Internet users pre dotcom explosion too. 

 Can't come soon enough! 

 you fucking idiot bitcoin literally made zero difference to the world except wasting an amount of energy that could have lifted entire nations out of poverty ... 

 Maybe, but Proof-of-Violence has bombed / couped quite a few countries into poverty over the same timespan, at a much greater cost in energy. 

 wow nature is bad !  here we have a solution that doesn't do anything - now give us all your money ! 

 It does less than the government version. And that's a worthwhile thing indeed 

 BITCOIN IS DOG SHIT. 

 Your troll-fu is weak, practise harder you must. 

 it is not my goal to offend anybody.  it is more like janitorial work - i clean up the human garbage from the platform to maintain standards.  too many idiots here think they have something intelligent to say and need to be put in their place ( under my boot ). 

 Do we have reliable datas on adoption ?
