In my careful opinion, Bitcoin has always been the global centralized (distributed is not decentralized) ledger and digital currency lined up by the WEF and LSE (London School of Economics, founded by the Fabian Society whose stated goal is 'international socialism through gradualism) for when they phase out national currencies, as predicted on the cover of that Rothschild rag The Economist back in January, 1989.
The Soviet Union and any proudly Communist / Socialist bloc is famous for it's miles of filing cabinets. Because they want to replace private property with State planning, every resource and every transaction had to be logged in an endless double entry accounting chain. The first bloc chains.
Now we get to behold the spectacle of self-professed fans of decentralization using an akshully decentralized protocol to shill a single monopoly on money, cheer when it's instituted by countries as legal tender (using the State to force people on board) and worship the blockchain, that eternal immutable double entry accounting record of every transaction across the fucking currency in one database. Distributed is not decentralized. Every resilient centralized database, from Twitter to Bitcoin, is hosted on thousands of nodes. The real difference is Twitter has a private CDN and Bitcoin has a public CDN. The D in CDN stands for distribution. Nostr doesn't have a CDN because there's no single authoritative database to widely distribute. Decentralized ledgers have no concept of syncing up to a single authoritative global state. Bitcoin nodes do.
