Here’s a question for the BTC worshippers here:

BTC is decentralized, which is its main value proposition over other coins. That and being fixed to a limited number of coins to ever exist.

But what is stopping anyone (or everyone, tbh) from building a “Nostr coin” or some equivalent that is permissionless, also decentralized, links to lightning and whatever else would be convenient, AND has more modern encryption?

Not knocking Bitcoin, it’s part of the reason I’m here. But I am curious to know why someone doesn’t just “take the best aspects of Bitcoin” and iterate on it.
