I think mere existence of bitcoin sends signals to many places, so "they" play nicer. Same as Nostr. Mere existence of Nostr sends signals so they know where people will flock to, in case tyranny gets worse. This is the actual adoption. These liberating techs are enough as is to provide alternative breathing and shelling points.

I think multipolar world will work for bitcoin's adoption even further. If chinese culture also becomes dominant we may see bans of chinese content in USA, which will work in favor of nostr adoption.
