I don’t see a Bitcoin standard working to be brutally honest. It’s a nice idea but with 9 billion people in the world and with folks like Michael Sailor only keen on accumulating and never (or very rarely) deploying capital, I don’t think there will be enough to go round. If hyper happens and I’m wrong, well I’m happy to be wrong, it certainly wouldn’t be the first time.

Nostr: well that depends on where data is hosted. If data is held on many, many smaller servers then cool. If it means all hosted data (videos, large files etc) on a few large servers then no. I understanding that data is sent by relays etc but still, data needs a home right? Again happy to be proved wrong. I’m basing this on my use of Zap.Stream. It’s great for streaming and I dig it but if I want the data to exist beyond the stream I either pay them to store the data or I host myself. If large amounts of content is stored with zap stream it becomes a single point of failure.

If I’m talking bollocks happy to be corrected but you asked for opinions…
