The enemy of the state is medium of exchange. If they lose that they have no monetary sovereignty. Legislation is aimed at encouraging a low velocity of money for bitcoin combined with active competition for medium of exchange using tax regulations to provide the unfair advantage necessary to allow Gresham’s law to continue dictating decisions on the margin

Giving my money to somebody who’s going to take on a bunch of leverage, fractional reserve the thing he’s giving me in exchange and use the proceeds to stack bitcoin, who I then have to trust to custody it properly
Or

Generals ain’t the best combat soldiers, etc. Knowledge and Practice/application are two different things that are not invalidated when not accompanied by the other.
Intellectuals/academics historically play an important role in society (provided that they’re not captured) but aren’t necessarily “doers”. Society needs both to function optimally. It’s good to be proud of work but work isn’t everything. Strategy and design optimize workers and make them more efficient

The use case is being able to speak without risk of censorship. We just need more important people saying more important things here. Journalists breaking big stories that otherwise would be shut down on centralized platforms for instance.
The problem isn’t so much the protocol, it’s the people using it.
If you want more people to use NOSTR, create an environment for people who would otherwise be silenced to be free. And I’m not talking about niche Devs.
How Reasearchstr, a place where academic papers can be published that maybe aren’t going to make the lancet because the findings aren’t to the fancy of proctor and gamble or unilever.

And then you realize the government has no incentive to fix it because it’s propping up the mortgage backed securities market and property tax revenues/cap gains tax revenue from sales on the inflated prices.

It’s become pretty apparent that the Knots stuff is mostly a combination of naïveté regarding the actual effectiveness of filters (they don’t work to stop spam, it’s mostly just virtue signaling/protesting how everything played out) and potentially even some coordinated attempt to cause a fork to separate the monetary ideologues from the base protocol. It benefits the state to create a situation where the minority of financially literate people fork themselves away from where Blackrock and retail will be, guaranteeing their irrelevance and dooming them to be the next bitcoin cash.

Just to play devils advocate, the whole point of the Knots peoples position is that core devs are compromised, so appeals to authority does nothing to sway them. You have to break it down and teach if the goal is to get people to change their opinion.

Organized society is secondary to the establishment of a monopoly on violence in a given jurisdiction.
The reality is that whoever establishes and maintains that violence monopoly in the jurisdiction you reside within WILL extract value from the economy (you) via coercion. This is the reward for achieving the monopoly on violence. This is true amongst any and all forms of government.
If your government doesn’t do this, they will have economic disadvantages against adversaries who do, and will eventually be overcome by them. The new rulers will then proceed to extract value from the economy (you) via coercion.
There I no argument that they “can’t tax you. The only question is to what extent will they enforce the tax laws. Of all the made up laws and regulations, tax law seems to be the most rigidly enforced. It’s not going to get better with AI.

During the transition, countries that print their currencies can crowd out the private sector from mining, generating enough bitcoin to sustain operations moving forward, no? We know a true free market never exists alongside state actors that can manipulate said free market via currency, regulation, tariffs etc. Governments inevitably become the primary miners because they’re not subject to free-market forces due to the ability of being able to first print currency to maintain an advantage, and leverage the violence monopoly to ensure it regardless of economic forces.
I just don’t see how nation states (who have unfettered access to an amount of nuclear power that no private entity could ever compete with) aren’t entrenched as the largest mining entities forever (if they choose to be)

Ah interesting. Just some game theory here:
So I’m a nation state or whatever and I want to control the supply of money for my own benefits. Bitcoin is a big headache for me. I buy up the vast majority of the supply and just keep it away from the public. Then I “vote” for more halvings to make it “more divisible” and although the new halvings create a comically small amount new satoshis, if I hardcore limit the supply available to purchase, and I manipulate that tiny amount to be a meaningful amount of the total available satoshis for sale, thus causing monetary inflation?
