There’s often a lot more value to bitcoin keys, so I think 99% of people will hold their keys on their phone. And 0.00001% will use multisig for their Nostr keys 🤷‍♂️

This was unfortunate but something easily fixed by stopping the “unknowingly hadn’t paid”. First line of defense for this is to have an auto-pay set up, like is a good idea for all bills. If that doesn’t work for a particular household, the fire department is incentivized to send a letter/advertisement to their house informing them and selling them on paying for the service, so they can make more money and (in case of fire) protect the house. There are (very) occasional problems for a few individuals, but it’s still more moral than stealing money from the entire population, including those that have adequate homeowner’s insurance, which this guy noted that he didn’t.

The young are more pliable. Many more of them will learn. The old are less pliable. Many more of them will die without learning. You’re simply in the minority, aligned less with the elderly than the youth.

Progress comes from new ideas being born and old people dying.

The opt-in part is the important part. Not allowing everybody to use it is dependent on the agreement. Sometimes, using it can itself be opting in to paying for it, like through automated tolls, maybe over Lightning?
