#Day7 #21DaysOfNostr
Is it possible for a Nostr client to claim themselves to be decentralised but have centralised servers?
This was brought to my attention yesterday. If it was the case then could that client have access to your/my nsec too?
One of my main concerns with Bitcoin for example is newbies are coming into the space thinking they're buying an ETF and have full exposure to Bitcoin. When in reality they're buying an IOU of an IOU with Fiat, in return for Fiat. The key holder owns the Bitcoin.
The reason I'm on here is because I 'can't be cancelled' and not 'a slave to the algorithm'. Although if the servers are centralised and I'm unable to tell the difference - it begs the question...What's the point?
