Hahah. I did watch that and the analogy of bitcoin using the electrical grid to turn into a global state machine was a wild concept. I still feel like there could be an application for global to use PoW notes but maybe I need to sit down to think about it more. Do you think there’s no place for NIP-13 then?

After thinking it over, I think PoW does make sense if it's recognized at the account level, so that way it is reusable. If that trust is abused, the account can be blacklisted. That makes more sense to me than requiring PoW at the event level, where it is not reusable.
As in relays will check account level PoW for spam prevention or accounts in the client will set what they expect from accounts they follow among their relays? Or both?
#[6] was talking about PoW being required until account level reputation is achieved, so this kinda goes well with that. I like it.
