It's good that data dies. Most data should die in the long arc of time.
And that's why all of "Web3" is different and worse than Bitcoin. There are very few things that we need a bounded, immutable, global consensus on. Money is one of those things. Few other things are.
Adding immutability and global consensus to non-monetary things (other than with some sidechains or other indirect connections) makes no sense.
Perfect memory is a curse, not a blessing. Part of wisdom is knowing what to forget.
We lost a lot of literature in long arc of time. If only we had all the data we could understand the psychology of people in the past and know why they did things they did.
I agree with nostr:npub1k0fwykqsj7q2la5ttncv9unzf9lawymme8ulu4rwcmfmlsfx48eseq7e9m's statement about the value of keeping books or some value of old communications.
But how do you discriminate the really valuable work from 50 shades of Kardashians breakfast or a teenager selfiesession? 😅
At the edges.
If someone seems it valuable they can ensure it’s survival easily and cheaply.
Aka the free market?
Would you have predicted tweets of Elon or Trump or AOC before their time in spotlight to be of any value? It’s hard to say what becomes culturally valuable.
also once we implement and use 0-100 scoring of keys/posts instead of likes, signal will go to infinity
you might be underestimating how much we can learn from the human shadow
We don't really need "everything immutability"
💯💯💯
And that’s the beauty of how nostr addresses this: it pushes the subjective evaluation of what’s worth preserving to the edges.
If someone deems something valuable they can easily and cheaply opt to preserve it, but when no one does, the data expires and dies.
