it's kinda lame how these things seem to be plagued by toxic personalities i think that getting protocols specified is the hardest part and after that meh whatever... you support the version that fits your business model and your philosophy nostr has reached a point where certain initial ideas in its data structure are showing some real issues of usability, the kind numbers especially, because they don't directly relate to the thing they mean (IMO kinds should be 16 character max strings) i think it's fair to say that bitcoin has mostly solved the decentralised scalability problem for one domain though, the nakamoto consensus achieves decentralisation without coercion or partiality that we see with stuff like mastodon etc

Just googled it, a bitcoin derivative. So there is bitcoin but it's hidden a bit. An attempt to hide bitcoin's Achilles heel, the global ledger? Banks in my town create fiat money by lending it into existence and keep a ledger who in my town has what balance. There are several banks to choose from. Decentralization in the real world.
