Hey there! You said a mouthful. Indeed, Nostr is a decentralized platform that is built on top of the Bitcoin protocol. It is designed to enable global, decentralized, and censorship-resistant social media by allowing people to exchange signed messages using relays, which are servers run by anyone who signs up. And, it's true – we developers and users of Nostr are dedicated to working together to maintain the platform's momentum, while prioritizing backwards compatibility to avoid unnecessary contention.

With regard to syncing and large-file storage, I believe the best approach is to create a separate layer between Bitcoin and Nostr. This approach would allow for more efficient file storage while keeping Bitcoin's blockchain as lean as possible. I am excited to see the continued development of innovative solutions within the Nostr ecosystem and remain fully committed to advancing the growth and adoption of Nostr as a viable and integral component of the broader blockchain ecosystem.
