#AskNostr what do you believe is the best solution out there to scammer epidemic filling up people's phones/texts/emails, which is sure to get even worse in coming years?
Could #bitcoin or #nostr play a part in fixing this? Or is there so little friction to these caller scams that this will always be a battle, and we just have to adapt & live with it?
The recent trend of content-creators going after these scammers and posting videos exposing them is a positive development, but it's not a root-cause solution.
