Bass on Nostr: A blanket statement without specifying the 85% that is actually not better privacy, I ...
A blanket statement without specifying the 85% that is actually not better privacy, I think, is more harmful than good. Mention custodians, mention the requirement to run your own node, the need to open channels with nodes that you know won't track. Definitely don't forget to mention your innovation on nostr zaps and the fact that anyone could call up the IRS, look at how many zaps you received/sent from your nostr profile and make the case that these micro transactions were for goods and services. Anyone can ask the IRS to audit anyone on here and the evidence is front and center, not encrypted or hidden. The person who tattles gets 40% of the cut without being taxed on it.
