The odds of nuclear armageddon can increase while deaths in war also go down. Both can be true at once.

It's not nostr vs social media, it's nostr vs the foundations of the web: it's nostr vs the URL.

And the alternative? More people die, and those who disagree get shot.

I also love my bitkey. It's the only one I'd recommend to others.

What should be done

If BIP110 results in a chain split, ETFs might pick the wrong chain.

You should tie bitcoin to your npub. Because it's *useful.* Right now, knowing your nsec is compromised requires the person who compromised it to be a white hat. That's the entire security model. I've thought about key compromise since day one and this solves a massive headache. Bitcoin on the npub is the most explicit pay-for-your-privacy system online. You choose the size of the carrot, and you only pay if it fails. The money never leaves your hands unless your nsec is already compromised. If the funds move, you know. Immediately. The more you leave on the npub, the harder it is for someone holding your nsec to sit still. The previous incentive for black hats was to sit on an nsec as long as possible and collect as much compromising data as possible. Now they have to weigh stealing the funds directly vs hoovering up private data indefinitely. Every day they wait, they're paying an opportunity cost you set. The effect is that your private DMs and other encrypted material are safer, because the sooner the canary dies, the sooner you move off the nsec and the less future data gets compromised.

Sonnet has exceeded my expectations.

Violence (or the credible threat of it) does solve resource allocation and control problems in the real world. States can seize your hardware, raid your house, imprison you, freeze your bank accounts, conscript you, or destroy your means of living. Cryptography protects the information, but it doesn't protect the resources needed to generate, store, or use that information. In the end, the side with superior coercive force can still win by controlling the physical layer... computers, people, energy, networks, money.

Violence solves a resource problem.
