Lysander Spooner on Nostr: Blockheads think their grand unified blockchain is 'decentralized' because it's ...
Blockheads think their grand unified blockchain is 'decentralized' because it's hosted on multiple nodes. Nope. Because all those nodes attempt to sync up to a single authoritative global state, it's centralized and just distributed.
They don't understand why Nostr doesn't have a single global state or the tokenomics required to maintain it. Because it's not centralized at the data layer, like 'a' blockchain is.
