The mainstream is curated and orchestrated by the deceiving class. So if they want it, yes, if they don't, no.

I also no longer believe big numbers, elliptic curves, cryptography; etc... offer any actual protection against that class. They have showcased multiple times in plain sight that they have all the energy + knowledge they need to not give AF about things like that.

And they don't even use it for secrecy themselves. They limit access with people, not with keys.

Probably sounds way too nihilistic and doomer for close to everyone here. We're supposed to be #bullish here, riiiiight :padme:

So I guess it depends on how deep you researched the nature of the realm we live in, which can be scary and confusing. (I started researching the nature of time and motion at 16yo after reading Plato's cave and after that, and the year or so of barely sleeping, researching most other things seemed way lees intimidating)

Buuuuuut, to rug us on cryptography, they'd need to rug the whole internet / digital realm. So as long that doesn't happen Nostr and Bitcoin are very useful, and that's why I still build on them.
