I was just listening to Rogan/Andreessen episode where MA is talking about cryptographically signing public messages on a blockchain (e.g. “what did a politician say?”)… and while I don’t think a blockchain is a good solution for that, it did make me wonder what’s missing from nostr to solve what he’s getting at. And I think timestamps are the primary thing missing for the politician use-case. Enough people would mirror/host any message of importance, but we would need to say “X said Y at time/interval Z”

We don’t need global state since we’re not trying to solve double-spend in public messaging.
