Freedom without security is merely chaos.
Nostr has a long way to go. It’s certainly not the “most raw encoding of freedom one can have” and doesn’t come close to being as resilient as bitcoin.
In my teens I probably could’ve knocked most of nostr offline for days with my old botnet lmao it’s literally a handful of nodes. Without a vast network of profitable paid relays and options to switch between, nostr is merely LARPing as “sustainable decentralization” when really it’s a half-built train with no rails. We must build the rails.
