 What if nostr had a halving like bitcoin?

A crazy thought experiment

(And I know it'll probably never happen - for a variety of reasons - but still fun to think about)

What if nostr following the same code as bitcoin and half the npubs got cut in half every four years?

The bottom 50% of activity gets snipped

Making npubs scarce and valuable

Imagine a scarce communication layer combined with a scarce money layer

Scarcity creates abundance
