This thread is interesting from a nostr perspective in terms of which direction the nostr 'community' of developers will take. I am not yet dissuaded from the view that decentralisation leads to fragmentation and a gradual loss of energy. i.e. a gradual decline in nostr users and usage beyond being a system for a small niche community.

The 'wars' you describe in bitcoin, despite the negative connotation, are possibly a source of energy which actually helped bitcoin to survive.

It's my contention that some centralising 'turf wars' may be need within nostr to help it achieve the same but I don't see anything like that happening yet despite some frustration that nostr is not growing its user numbers much.

The idea of some centralising function and/or conflict being in any away positive seems to be anathema to most nostr/bitcoiners, but I wonder whether they are missing the point and projecting a personal internal preference onto a wider project?
