"Imagine a communication protocol mainly controlled by the GAFAM , with security so weak it can’t even protect message content, and features barely adequate for the 1980s.

Or dare I say that the spam debate on core Knots, doesnt Bitcoin have the capability to send messages with the cost baked in

Or the lightning network bridges to email

Once we manage to use a modern protocol for emails, a ton of amazing possibilities will open up. The hardest part will probably to keep it simple enough to make this accessible to everyone, not just some Nostr Bitcoiners.
