Not necessarily. It won't die but that doesn't mean it will "succeed." They can't stop you from using it. Though, they could have ISPs try to censor the clients. Easy to get around for techies but that will block out a lot of normies. They can region lock the apps. Wallet of Satoshi is blocked in the US, I had to use my alternate region account to download it. Again, easy to get around but little things like that will block out a lot of people.
Then that brings up the KYC/AML issues with bitcoin payments. They can threaten you with tax compliance or even say that you're "funding terrorism" by zapping sats or something ridiculous like that. That will immediately blacklist nostr clients from a nation. Still technically accessible but most people won't bother using it out of fear or ignorance.
