I want to learn more about cryptocurrency in a functional, practical sense. I don't really understand how, for example, Bitcoin is capable of facilitating huge quantities of transactions---a prerequisite for a currency---with its paltry TPS. I'm surprised that more liquid and performant cryptocurrencies like Algorand aren't more popular for general transactions on networks like NOSTR.

Yeah, it’s probably that. The “best” thing from a technical or functional standpoint isn’t always the thing that ends up sticking or becoming adopted. Which, for example, is something I fear for Nostr. Both Activity Pub (which has been around *a lot longer*, to be fair) and AT Protocol (which is newer) are gaining or have gained more traction and adoption despite both being technically inferior protocols to Nostr.
