Bitcoin was nothing like that when it was as early as Nostr is now.

The very people proposing it were skeptical of it, willing to hear about all possible limitations etc — and it was a breakthrough obvious to anyone who did any research around the idea of digital cash. Nostr obviously has no big breakthrough in it — there’s not even any attempt to make arguments in that direction— only about how it changes everything, assuming it solves the problem of censorship.

It reminds me not of Bitcoin, but of the way newborn altcoins are shilled with wild assertions and zero research to back it.
