Shitcoins & stablecoins are like centralized social media… used & abused until political instability emerges, then they become mediums of control.

Bitcoin and nostr must exist so that during these times, options remain. Bulletproof money and speech is most useful when bullets are flying, that’s the point of being bulletproof afterall.

But the cost of nostr & bitcoin is quite great, pushing people to cheaper centralized options. Perfection ain’t cheap. Reducing costs or increasing profits for node operators is key.
