I'll say it again for anyone still listening:
Bitcoin does not need politicians to succeed, it just needs them to get out of the fucking way.
Carry on.
Pro tip: rooting for the political gang that promises you the most "number go up" is not a strategy for lessening their power over you, any more than voting for the prison warden will open the gates of freedom.
Bitcoin, and now Nostr, are both technologies for recapturing your sovereignty and making politicians, whatever their craven power fantasies might be, irrelevant.
Did nostr.live go away? This was a nice backup service to download/upload event data to relays. Just tried visiting it after a couple of months and it throws a really sketchy cert error (then fails HSTS).

The best, simple explanation of Nostr I've come up with is, it's a place you can't be cancelled, but nobody has to listen to your bullshit either.
