I’m not here to spout politics, there’s enough of that on other platforms. 

I’m interested in keeping up with the latest technology, interacting with it, and being around the bitcoin community with the most signal.

I sort of get the “stand and be counted” argument you’re making but I can’t get around unbalanced tradeoffs it creates.

Sure, you get to stand for a greater cause and “the man” or whomever can audit and say, wow look, all these real people have a belief. For me it gets back to—verifiable to whom?

Also the platform is such right now that zaps are fairly transparent. Nostr has pulled back the veil in certain regards and put “faces” and names with certain lightning transactions. Requiring verifiable humans, I feel opens a can of worms around financial sovereignty.
