Yes, but nostr is really two protocols combined:

1. Nostr Identity -- scales to billions of users

2. Nostr relays -- provably scales to 1000s and up to 1 million users perhaps

Both are valuable, 1 is very high on the sovereignity spectrum. But can also be combined with other systems to make them reach parity.

Good point, but for simplicity I see them as one. Nostr identities have little value without the relays. I know this is semantics, but what I am looking for is a simple way to communicate to normies.

Actually the fact that Nostr works WITHOUT relays is a superpower

Nostr Identity + Relays scales to 1000s

Nostr Identity + NIP-98 scales to billions
