I missed the original podcast and John’s criticism of nostr. I wonder about the resource costs of nostr as a function of number users, but I have no framework for thinking about this. Also, a general observation I’ve made having been in bitcoin since July 2010: the flatter the affect and the more Asperger-y the vibe, the lower the probability of being wrong. @Luke Dashjr is a good example. If JC has a criticism, it’s well worth thinking carefully about. No offense…

Don't have a dog in this fight but my impression is that @Big Bad John is using ragebate marketing tactics to promote his products. I can't imagine this is too successful on a network like #Nostr but who knows.
