 why would Nostr need this? 
 I think your earlier reply kind of answers the why. Cuz it does all that. 
 still I don't understand why this shouldn't be hosted at the company that builds it 
 🤖 
 Why / how? 
 No need to manually insert information about other keys. Everything can be gathered from Nostrs events in realtime.  
 Yeah but everyone has to be on nostr then 
 That's already a given to me. :) 
 Why additional features would a crm get by being by being built on nostr that it couldn’t have gotten with legacy tech? 
 Automated, realtime interest labeling without buying it from Google or Facebook.  
 Makes sense, although I’m thinking if it would make sense for smaller teams to build out smaller CRM  features independently instead of trying to build a complete CRM solution at once. But an interesting idea nevertheless 
 No chance. Too many CRM's as it is. Nostr has no value add. This is buzzword chasing and reinventing the wheel. 
 ERP is a better term for CRM.
