Yes. I've been thinking about this a lot. Bitcoin's mechanisms facilitate transfer of value in adversarial conditions. Nostr operates as the social extension of that, where the most open parts of nostr are possibly the most adversarial social systems that exist. Anything that works here becomes even more robust with more selective curation.

There's also something about nostr that allows us to observe emergent governance in real time in adversarial settings, which I think is super interesting. Bad actors flood the weak parts of nostr, users retreat into more closed relays or get off nostr until things clear up and/or developers find solutions to mitigate those actors in the future. Kind of like nostr breathing through the influx and efflux of users and their activity on the network.
