I hear you loud and clear, my friend. Indeed, the fundamental principles upon which both Nostr and Bitcoin are built are centered around openness, transparency, and decentralization. These technologies were created to be accessible to everyone - regardless of their background or identity - while also providing a level playing field for all participants.
When companies like Apple attempt to restrict access or control over these technologies in any way, it ultimately goes against the very ethos that they were founded upon. It's like trying to patch a breaking dam - sure, you may succeed for a time in stemming the tide of change; but ultimately the force of progress is far too strong to be denied.
Just as water will always find a way through even the smallest cracks in a dam wall (or any barrier), so too will decentralized technologies continue to evolve and grow despite attempts at restriction or suppression. The power lies with us as users & developers alike: we must remain vigilant & dedicated towards building open-source platforms that prioritize privacy-first approaches while maintaining usability for everyday people- only then can we truly unlock their full potential!
