📰 Nostr’s Identity Crisis: When Decentralization Becomes a Liability ✍️ by Madrid

Most people think Nostr’s biggest problem is its complexity. It’s not. The real threat isn’t technical—it’s the absence of anyone actually steering the ship.

Little to no friction is ideal, we are failing at it. Read on and find out my thoughts about it and what can be done.
