Absolutely.

Nostr is by far the best social media alternative we have at this point.

To play the devil's advocate, we still need to evaluate how Nostr will handle future challenges. Bitcoin having a 14 year track record is a reassurance that it has overcome severe trials by fire.

Nostr is still in development and we can't know for certain which security solutions it will converge on, or exactly how resilient it will be to the first ~10 years of attacks.

I have good confidence in Nostr while I simultaneously think that a broad array of communications options help us spread the risks and mitigate future unknowns.

This is opposed to how I view Bitcoin - in regards to Bitcoin there is an obvious benefit for the world to converge on a single decentralized Bitcoin standard. The Bitcoin security model is known, fixed and isn't dependent on a single private key, among many things.
