Well, that was…interesting.🙄
The Bitcoin cultists think that Nostr could prevent Biden's handlers from making statements on his behalf. They're totally delusional, obviously.
Let's say that Biden needed to use a fingerprint to Tweet. All someone would need to do is take his finger, whether attached to him or not, to make a Tweet "as Biden". And all the delusional drones who think, "signing proves identity." are just that; completely delusional and unaware of how anything actually works:

Noster can't fix everything, and neither can Bitcoin; and there is a class of Bitcoiner that has shifted this narrative from "Bitcoin fixes this" to "Nostr Fixes this". It's the same Bitcoin Cult under a different name.
People who think software services like X, Bitcoin and Nostr are "technologies" betray their complete lack of understanding of what a technology is. Services are not technologies; they are made out of technologies.
And if you think a "signing key" will protect the launch procedure from being hijacked, you really don't understand how signing keys work, probably never used GPG, and are ignorant of the history of Cryptography.
Which is fine. No one can be expected to know everything.
These things are being said because it is important for people who prefer not to be ignorant hear them to reign in the drooling fanboyism that masquerades for insight. They throw around words like "Open Source" and "Centralized" not knowing what these things mean or whether or not practical use can be made of them. They also don't like it when "Open Source" is used against them as intended, when their work is forked and someone makes a copy of it for profit.
Publishers of books are the worst offenders in this, breathlessly talking about "Open Source" whilst protecting their books with copyright.
One of the rare exceptions is Boldrin and Levine's "Against Intellectual Monopoly" that you can download for free AND buy on Amazon. Not so clever people think they're being smart by finger pointing Boldrin and Levine for selling their books thinking they're not available for free, only to be silenced by pointing to the URL where they are. How pathetic.

Thankfully, Bitcoin can't suffer from the delusions of these people, who are toxic and retarding of the expansion of Bitcoin's use. Once again, if Bitcoiners can't overcome the voices of these people then it was always doomed to fail.
So far. It is THEM that are failing, not YOU.
