“Is Nostr a Blockchain without a Token?”
I’ve heard several technically inclined people who have not studied Nostr carefully make the claim that Nostr is somehow a blockchain technology so I made a video to provide some clarity on this topic.
Discussion
Blockheads think their grand unified blockchain is 'decentralized' because it's hosted on multiple nodes. Nope. Because all those nodes attempt to sync up to a single authoritative global state, it's centralized and just distributed.
They don't understand why Nostr doesn't have a single global state or the tokenomics required to maintain it. Because it's not centralized at the data layer, like 'a' blockchain is.
You are very good at explaining complicated things
