Yeah, people forget that if Bitcoin fails, Nostr by extension also fails. I wonder what these influencers would end up blaming when all the tech toys they advocate for crumble beneath their feet. I blame the devs. They blame the plebs. Choose your fighter.

why would nostr fail in that scenario? so no world where bitcoin dies and Nostr carries on?

Just because BIP-110 doesn't address ending spam doesn't mean that we can't have UASF whenever we find an exploit. Every time we discover bad actors are abusing our money we should soft fork.
