 I think nostr:npub1tr4dstaptd2sp98h7hlysp8qle6mw7wmauhfkgz3rmxdd8ndprusnw2y5g you're being disingenious:

You say "Nostr not private because most people don't use VPNs or Tor"

And when I asked you about KYC on Twitter, you said it's FUD as "all it takes is payment, paid with work CC so not even real name or address involved".

What's the point of doing this?

It is obviously WAY easier for the average person to get a VPN than a payment card not on their name.

99% of blue checks on Twitter have KYC'd in practice, with their real names and addresses.

And it is obvious that VPN usage in nostr is higher than on Twitter.
