nostr wins if it stops trying to be a twitter clone and starts being the invisible layer underneath apps you actually want to use. like bitchat for location-based messaging, diVine for entertainment, whitenoise for private messaging, zap.stream for streaming, shakespeare for vibe coding, etc.
it wins by unbundling into 50 different apps that all talk to each other, rather than one giant app/corp that traps you. it's all about the ecosystem.
bitchat now uses georelays for geohash chats. uses the 5 known relays closest to any given geohash. helps with latency and makes spam more difficult. and further decentralizes chat.
in app store now (1.3.2). android play store version does the same.
