"The success of a higher layer can create demand-pull."
I admit, I was swept up with the "everything can be fixed with a blockchain" narrative. But really, it's only truely effective for the transfer of money and keeping ledgers straight and honest.
The nostr protocol is proof that a decentralized ethos doesn't have to be tied to a block chain. A layer two technology doesnt necessarily need a block chain.
I wonder if there could be a feasible protocol for smart contracts. Or if that kind of thing would work well on nostr. I wouldnt want to fall for the same fallacy thinking nostr is a panacea for all layer 2 activity.
