You didn't. I'm aware of the swirl. I'm just objecting to the notion that there's a there there. Jack hasn't had to practice restraint by staying neutral, because there's never been a conflict-of-interest. Neither Jack or I consider Nostr competitive with our Web5 strategy. We both see the opportunity for connection and for both technologies to reinforce and improve each other by creating a wide-ranging set of decentralization technologies that are fit to purpose with different use cases. Web5 is incredibly focused on decentralized identity, verifiable credentials, and data ownership. I kind of look at Nostr and Web5 and think to myself "hey, Web5 could provide a better solution to NIP5, so you don't even need to rely on centralized servers for identity verification!" -- or "Web5's decentralized data storage schemes could significantly improve the experience of a Nostr client by being able to self-host metadata, message history, or other assets, in the future."
I see this all as part of a revolution of decentralization of services, on top of open protocols on the internet.
That is my official position on all this and everyone can take it to the bank.
