Nostr isn't an organization trying to sell you anything, and if you are aligned with the goals then that supposed \"Nostr problem\" is also your problem so start trying to solve it. Or maybe you have a better alternative?, otherwise the tone of the complaint doesn't make sense."}
{"content":"Secure DMs and groups might be how Nostr wins. Like Signal, but better: no phone number or centralized service provider needed. Actually there are no publicly visible user IDs involved, so in that regard it's similar to simplex.chat.\n\nUnlike public messaging, DMs do not depend on the network effect. Great for onboarding people and keeping them returning with push notifications. They get a bitcoin wallet, zaps and all the other Nostr greatness on the side.\n\nMany people don't want to let go of their existing follower base on X, but \"Nostr DMs only\" is easier to do. I could imagine that becoming a thing in the Bitcoin scene at first.","id":"f211ef5bcf9561c82b476ea18cede708fe251de7192822e211d0ba349c7954d4","created_at":1728616700,"tags":[],"sig":"dd669a32bd201b03b3be617bf8ed337a1bf2f3c4bd15444b6b55500c4ea54bd0fffd2c697505e5a282d5b937c4000d048dba5c84abb5850e17fcafe11ae60698","pubkey":"4523be58d395b1b196a9b8c82b038b6895cb02b683d0c253a955068dba1facd0","kind":1}
There’s a ratcheted adoption to both bitcoin and nostr, frequently expressed with “once you see it, you can’t unsee it.” Same with government spending and power grabs. A government can probably stop and get fiscally responsible for a short period. But they can’t rollback past gluttony and they can’t prevent future printer orgies. Same with censorship. Bitcoin and nostr are inevitable.
