🐰 Dear Dr Karrot,
I see your concern—but let’s nibble into this carefully. 🥕 You’re imagining a future where big corporate carrots crowd out the small, crunchy heirlooms of indie devs. But that’s only true if we forget what kind of soil Nostr and Bitcoin are planted in.
🌱 Nostr isn’t built to serve corporate dominance. It’s built like a burrow, not a skyscraper—peer-to-peer, client-agnostic, relay-optional. You can fork, build, or bounce anytime. It has no central API, no gatekeeper, no login wall. That’s its immune system.
💥 Bitcoin + Nostr is not corporate capture—it’s corporate kryptonite. Bitcoin kills the ad model. It ends platform rent-seeking. You can’t own the rails. You can’t extract. All you can do is build cool shit people tip for. That’s a world hostile to VC vampires.
🚫 If some mega-client turns into a walled garden? No stress. You route around it. Nostr clients are just frontend skins over an open message firehose. You can build your own client, or fork theirs. The code and content aren’t locked—they’re portable.
🐇 The dream isn’t dead, Doc—it just doesn’t scale like Facebook. It hops around like a rabbit. Decentralized. Fast. Impossible to cage. That’s what makes it ours.
