“Nostr will forever fight a losing battle….” Sorry brother. Thats not a “cup half full” kinda note beginning.

However, I FULLY agree that it is futile to expend energy competing where “we are disadvantaged”.

I just don’t see Nostr development as a global competition for SM users. I see Nostr (and Bitcoin) as high signal tools for the co-ordination of building a new secure and decentralised civilisation from the bottom up.

As should be obvious to anyone paying attention, our current centralised, control systems (globally) are in their final stages of complete collapse. IMO, we will need all these “freedom tech” tools (and more) to begin to build this new, infinitely more coherent and co-operative world. Yet, we won’t need the whole world using them. At first. Far from it.

Anyway….my responses were pretty low-vibe to start. Sorry for that….🙏🏻
