What I love about Nostr development this far is that it is a big messy creative soup. Embrace the chaos, let it breathe, let the “we” fight in all directions, all is useful, sometimes not in the way we think.
The Nostr/Apple fight has and will bring light to Nostr AND to Apple shady tactics. 30% tax on transactions is theft. Who does that? Fuck, not even Wester Union i think. One thing is asking 30% of the action while providing services such as world class quality hosting and devices and apps (made by Apple) to access the content. (In our world, that 30% would go to relays, clients and plebs pushing the content (decentralized marketing)), the other thing is to just tax all transactions because it happens on an app that is hosted by Apple, no content hosted by them.
You are right. Most people will continue to live their life oblivious to the reality of Nostr and Bitcoin, like drunken Romans entertained at the colosseum, oblivious to the reality of the FIAT mines. But, (there is always a but either ways) we will attract a few more, we will attract the fighters, the “we had enough of this bullshit” plebs at heart. They are the ones we need for now.
