what kind of bitcoiner hands over all his self-custody stash and KYCβs himself just to get a bitcoin-backed loan?
no better than a regular cryptobro.
there is a difference between a followers count and a community.
A community creates connections between members.
They know each other, engage with one another and feel a genuine sense of belonging.
If something catastrophic happened to nostr (relays blocked, banned, architecture limitations, etc) we would just create something better/resilient and respawn the whole network over again.
What makes Nostr or Bitcoin valuable is not the tech, is the network of people running the stuff.
No one who considers themselves a libertarian can keep ignoring Bitcoin at this point.
Take a closer look at your ideology if you donβt want to look like an idiot over the next 4 years.
