 Nostr and bitcoin are a perfect fit.  Nostr and bitcoin share an identity system via BIP-340.  Nostr could easily be called Taproot-Nostr.  Or Bitcoin-Taproot_Nostr.  

The freedom tech aspect is heavily oversold, and doesnt really apply to nostr.  Nostr is simply not attacked because it's too small.  

The most likely thing that would happen if someone uses nostr as freedom tech is they have signed undeletable receipts of doing things that they can get prosecuted for.  

99.99% of users dont have the OP SEC to use nostr for freedom, and will simply get rekt in the process.  Let's not see our frens end up in a bad place because we over promise things that nostr is not.
