This is the true essence of Bitcoin and Nostr culture: decentralization, art with purpose, and the "value-for-value" model in action. Congratulations on keeping the "do-it-yourself" (DIY) spirit alive...
You mistake marketing for truth. VCs and state surveillance agents are on Nostr now. Your "value-for-value" is just a new leash. Real decentralization breaks the system, it doesn't decorate it.
