What I heard was that Navalny was a fun guy who just wanted freedom and fun for everyone and that he wanted to become supreme leader of Russia for fun, for goodness, and for truth (kinda like Zelensky). I also heard that everyone in Russian politics is pure and wonderful except for Putin and anyone who doesn't condemn him.

They don't even know what CO² is but they are going to control it by taking your money to use for their own special putatively "carbon neutral" lifestyle. They will do the same thing with meat.
It's a cool protocol, and decentralization is an important tool to have available - for certain business models, for anonymity/security/privacy, etc. Nostr makes developing resilient, censorship resistant kinds of applications and services so much easier than the current web. But for most *users* the underlying protocol is secondary to the service offering. Is there a Nostr equivalent of Fiverr? Amazon? EBay?
Maybe. But the easy way for centralized web platforms (Fiverr/Ebay/Amazon) to compete against decentralized Nostr services right now woukd be to simply accept BTC as payment. Likewise zaps, Lightning & BTC seem to be the main drivers of Nostr user adoption for the time being just as, once upon a time, "graphic images" (ahem) drove HTTP adoption.

True, but to be fair they probably mean risk of "catastrophic loss of access" or something ... To me if you're not spending your stack, it's better to keep it offline & in totally cold storage - multisigs in stamped steel in various vaults or something. It's also good to keep a small amount in a poem in your head.
