Preservation is the only meaningful use case. Any claim to ownership of that piece of blockspace is tenuous at best - that’s why the invented the theology of ordinals to do it. The current activity is driven by claims to ownership and the subsequent trading that ensues from it. It has nothing to do with preservation

Right. These tokens have deviated from the original argument and tainted even the slightest bit of understanding that I gave Ordinals credit for.
Nostr is good for preservation as well. #[6]
Note cut out, but capsule had a good post recently debunking the 3-d gun on bitcoin argument and how nostr is arguably better for something like that
This one nostr:note1w4nwprzclnypv9dd4fawvswr3885p6cmxxnyagh57u90anhr04mskn6xne
Eh. I don't believe any notes currently being posted on Nostr will be around in 10 years unless people keep rebroadcasting them to new relays as the pop-up.
Don’t worry they will all live forever in some AIs memory
It would be nice if nostr had a layer or protocol to try to ensure data preservation for multiple decades.
I don’t know if nostr will be good for preservation. There will always be nerds like me and #[7] who like to find old notes and boost them, so some notes will remain.
When it comes to 3d guns on nostr v. Bitcoin, I think the most important aspect is the decentralized and unstoppable nature of nostr. Nobody will know what an STL file is in 120 years, but there are tyrannical governments right now that the people need to protect themselves from.
The ordinal bros use the 3d gun argument to pull on our heart strings, and that somehow gives them an excuse for their shitcoinery. Code is text, and nostr is perfect for that.
