I believe that if you can’t make your product “copy-paste proof”, like what bitcoin does, any attempts of protecting it from copy pasting would only end up in a net loss either for you or for the society overall.

I do not imply that we should immediately break the current system and force everyone to make everything free. I’m saying that raising a culture in people all over the world where everyone rewards any useful received information will benefit the world and potentially make intellectual property unnecessary (to defend).

Bitcoin seed phrases are information and should not be made freely available except to it owner(s).

Hence not all information should be FREE

I want to point to a section in a video I linked to earlier which I think is pertinent to this discussion. At 1:49:42 the documentary starts to examine the example of FLOSS protocols and the fact that they have developed despite not being swayed by a business model (how true that actually is I don't know). The whole video is well worth watching but the section I mentioned is on topic here. I am not suggesting that I am for keeping it all free but I do the opportunity for the client/relay/wider protocol innovators to come up with a system in sync with the users. In fact if we all don't come up with viable models going forward we may fall prey to the vc/ corporate vultures yet again.

What I also mean is social part of it - anyone can fork Bitcoin’s code, yet it won’t be nearly as valuable cause all the users, node operators, businesses and miners stay with the original Bitcoin.

A good example extrapolating this on nostr i believe would be paid relay operators. Where anyone can “steal” their approach to running a relay, but not the users that already paid for and connected to the original ones.
