"Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one's thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first of all strike down."

Because if a supply chain / manufacturer is compromised, you can see your funds being spent and then react, clawing them back to a recovery wallet.
OP_VAULT eliminates the need to trust key management hardware, which to date has only been possible by using a diversity of devices in a multisignature setup.

Nostr is elegant in its simplicity. It lacks many anti-features, such as:
* Paid advertisements that fill your feed with noise.
* The Algorithm, which distorts the reach of accounts and messes with your curation in unknown ways.
* Arbitrary limits on the length and type of content you post.
* Unpredictable rules around how embedded media gets rendered.
* Nanny warnings about posting negative language.
* Unencrypted DMs that can be read by admins.
* An ever-looming axe over your head that if you violate the increasingly complex and ever-changing terms of service, your account will be censored.
Nostr is freedom.

I'm seeing nearly 50% as much engagement on nostr as on Twitter, but with only 1% the audience size.
Assuming the stats are roughly accurate, it means nostr users are 50X more active than Twitter users. Alternatively, it could mean that Twitter is 98% abandoned.
