Oddbean new post about login | logout Bitcoin’s L3 is a messaging layer for L2s. The L3 should be open, permissionless and decentralized. Nostr is a Bitcoin L3. Let me know where to ship the tombstone 😜
Nostr isn't built in Bitcoin or Lightning and doesn't need Bitcoin or Lightning. It doesn't have to utilize them at all! Keep the tombstone for yourself.
It's a lot more than a Bitcoin L3, but that doesn't mean its not a Bitcoin L3... of course need L2s to implement NWC or else its not.
NWC is more of a layer 3 than Nostr itself 🤣
I'll take that 😃
But whatever it's called, the more important part is that Nostr/NWC enables one click, multiparty bitcoin payments which is a huge UX leap to the way traditional bitcoin payments works today and can make bitcoin payments an actually better experience than traditional payments.
I think it’s cool to think of nostr as a bitcoin L3 and while I’m not a very technical person both of you got rewarded sats for this conversation so that seems to suggest bobs right.. also you say it doesn’t need lightning with nostr but now that we’ve discovered it I think we do need it..
