At least the #nostr protocol can still reasonably protect (or call bs) against those claims. Not so with all those other ‘decentralized’ technologies that are already captured by the state (look at what’s happening in the EU).

I have no issues of commercial adoption. It gives a chance for the smaller enterprises to thrive without worry of being shut down by what I like to call, the “trust cartels” of PKI certificate authorities, etc.

We just need to nail down the core of the protocol.

But when commercial interest cockblocks development at the protocol level…

That’s the biggest threat right now. That’s where I see where nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f can counter that threat with no-strings-attached grants.

Conflict of interest is kind of high over there. A whole lot needs to change.

How something is presented is often not what it is.
