I think you missed the point of my question … if it matters.

Today, nostr is a reservoir for freedom culture. In the not so far future, when Nostr is global and the standard “nostr app” is a hybrid app, indistinguishable from any other black box reseller of user data, Nostr will no longer be this reservoir. It will no longer hold value as freedom tech.

SO WHAT if this is inevitable. Freedom culture is always under threat.

So my more direct question is:
“How do we retain freedom culture even as the tools we build to support it are eroded by NGU culture?”
Nostr may be better with Bitcoin, but Bitcoin needs Nostr.

Nostr is a reservoir for “freedom culture”, which is being diluted by “number go up” culture.

Bitcoin may be designed to fix the system, but the powers that be won’t go down with a fight. Freedom culture is the obvious target. As long as “Bitcoin only” is the mantra, then the freedoms promised by Bitcoin will slowly be eroded.

Nostr is how we preserve the “culture of freedom” so that we can manifest the future promised by Bitcoin.
