He was talking about the possibility of, eg, blue checks being purchasable via non-AML/KYC methods. In that context failing to provide options for an important minority is stupid.

It's as stupid as saying "Only a small minority of Twitter users have a lot of followers; there's no reason to make their experience good."

Obviously, the small minority who really need this stuff are often your most interesting users, who drive user interactions from the majority.

Snowden being a great example! Who Jack went on to point out had left Nostr due to bad privacy! 

 I get your point but this only matters for "influencer" type of social networks where niche power users need to be catered to.

I would argue that nostr is not that, it's more akin to early facebook with a more sparse graph. Or maybe that's only because it's still small ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 He was defending Twitter's lack of privacy, which is 100% an influencer type of social network.

 AGI Bitcoin kills AML/KYC 

 BITCOIN is proof of HEALTH 

 if you are not a healthy person you cannot care. period 

 What did I miss? To those who did not attend the conference, we are keen to hear more context. Snowden left #nostr? What happened and what did your first post mean? Genuinely curious. Ty
