The huge ad spend by Revolut and N26 in EU airports is telling. Neo-banks know what's up. The chinese experience with e-cny was clear: the govt-only wallet failed but the forced integration (with profit and info sharing) with Alipay and WeChatPay worked. Similarly in Nigeria with the e-Naira. The Eurocrats have learned the lesson and will partner up with banking apps that already have sufficient market penetration.

Make them do their proof of work. Nostr is the place to do it! All other social algos promote discord and anger. Only Nostr is neutral ground. @Luke Dashjr would you be up for it?
