longhorn on Nostr: The chance may be small that these gatekeepers would refuse to honor your transaction ...
The chance may be small that these gatekeepers would refuse to honor your transaction request, but the possibility still exists. I understand today it isn’t necessary from your practical viewpoint. But, preserving the right to transact with another person without a trusted third party is a monumental feature wrapped up in privacy, sovereignty, etc. And, We already have used gold for thousands of years as a store of value. Bitcoin may be better, but again, that feature existed prior to BTC.
