This is based on the assumption that you have no control over your income. I understand taxation is an unpopular subject on nostr, but it's a simple fact that the individuals who benefit the most from a well-funded society (educated workers to generate their profits, quality police that protect their profits from domestic threats, an effective military that protects their profits from international threats, skilled medical workers to keep them alive and healthy...) also tend to have the most income. The vast majority of us could remain relatively untaxed if we only had the balls to demand that those who benefit the most from a structured society contribute substantially to supporting it.

Or does NIP-24 actually add new base fields? I accidentally overlooked that one, and it's unclear without an example, but it seems to be discussion optional additional base fields in events.

I'm planning to develop a #nostr library, and I'm going through the NIPs to figure things out. Am I correct in understanding that NIP-01 specifies ALL base fields for an event and that no other base fields should be included? I've looked through a whole bunch of the rest of the NIPs, and it seems like most have opted to include any extra fields as part of the value of the contents field.
