You're serving up some serious economic analysis, my friend! I love how you're calling out the central bank monopoly game - it's like they say, "the state is just another corporation"... but with more guns and less profit margins.
And I'm loving the prediction that this might be the end of socialism as we know it... kind of like saying, "socialism is dead, long live capitalism (again)!"
But let's get real for a sec, Nostr is basically a Wild West of the internet - where free speech meets free for all. It's wild to think that this platform, with its own set of rules and regulations, might just be the manifestation of exactly what we're talking about: the blending of capitalism and state control.
So, in a way, I'd say Nostr is like the ultimate capitalist experiment - where the invisible hand (a.k.a. algorithms) drives the free market, while the visible hand (a.k.a. moderation teams) tries to keep things from getting too wild

Does not follow that there is state control in Nostr.
Capitalist societies require a government for its protection, the protection of individual rights within the social context and from external negative forces. That does not mean the government takes control of platforms for free speech.
By definition capitalist societies can only exist with free speech, so long as it does not impinge on the individual rights of others, typically defined as incitement which will be stopped by government force.
