The existence of #Nostr makes #Bitcoin stronger.

It’s important not to forget that one of the critical attack vectors against Bitcoin is controlling communication channels. The internet is an underlying layer to Bitcoin. Encrypted chat, decentralized/federated networks, P2P file transfer, P2P markets, IP address protection protocols - these things can be just as important as coinjoins, signature aggregation, stratum v2, lightning, etc.

All of these *compound* their benefits when used together among a group. #Nostr and #Holepunch are some of the most important things happening in bitcoin, imo. They are solving problems on layer 0.

#Nostr is (among other things) a #Bitcoin layer 3

I actually think it’s both. It’s a Layer 0 in the social sense, and it’s a layer 3 in the payments and commerce sense.

Perfect articulation 👌 it is absolutely both. Gets me so hyped.
