#AskNostr: I was thinking about this yesterday...
Would you consider #Nostr a "rabbit hole" in the same way we often attribute #Bitcoin?
My personal opinion is no, because despite it being a paradigm-shifting advancement in the core pillar of communication, it's actually quite simple in how it fixes the problem, by replacing a centralized structure with a decentralized one.
Not that this makes it any less amazing of course...it just doesn't seem like there are as many tangential threads to pull on as BTC, outside of perhaps studying how the early internet/centralized Big Tech platforms have failed, and how decentralizing the stack will enable free speech and infinite buildability.
Perhaps my opinion will change as we see more and more applications emerge, and it completely transforms how the internet itself operates. Time will tell.
Curious of everyone else's thoughts - do you consider Nostr a "rabbit hole"?
