Good morning, I think the lower technical barrier to entry for nostr is why there’s such a vibrant ecosystem. With bitcoin, the technical hurdles, to overcome are much more complex, and in depth. With nostr, anyone with two hours of free time, and the desire, can watch YouTube, and learn how to make JSON web calls and create a Client or some new application.

Yup. Nostr isn't money, so its okay to be more carefree with it. If a nostr app loses all your relays and you lose your priv key its not a big deal.

If a Bitcoin app corrupts its save file and you lose your private key, it is money so it is a big deal.

If we compare Bitcoin script to nostr json calls, if a note messes with how a client displays things or crashes the app no big deal just update the app. If the json messes with a relay once again software update.

Bitcoin script on the other hand, you can set a time lock for 1,000 years, you can send to undependable addresses, and if it were not as constrained as it is now, you need only look at Ethereum for how that can go wrong
