Having a paid sign up option that depends on Primal's servers and continued payment is neither decentralised, secure or anonymous. Its just a bad Twitter clone that also utterly defeats the point of the Nostr network. Capitalism ruins everything.

why not use paypal then? its very fast an efficient and cheaper than bitcoin txns. Bitcoin is stupid with kyc because thentire point of bitcoin is to oppose kyc. if thats not going to happen why use bitcoin, its all cons and no upsides?

as opposed to expensive US corporate closed source AI models?

You also need to pay the BBC licence in the UK if you plan to watch watching anything live on TV or internet. Including YoutTube.

What would be the point in custodial bitcoin? One of the main reasons bitcoin was invented is to have a private, decentralised, non custodial digital currency that doesn't depend on centralised companies like visa/paypal. WHy would anyone buy bitcoin and use coinbase instead of just using paypal, other than for asset speculation purposes?

Bitcoin doesn't scale, thats what kaspa claims to solve. There is a need to scale. L2 sucks, its mostly an over centralised complicated Rube Goldberg device to make bitcoin work.

why not if you can? It makes everything easier and user friendly for people. L2s biggest problem (and there are many problems) is its usability. Lightnng is complicated to understand and set up, which means most peopleuse custodial wallets, and thats just not what bitcoin wants. And even then its a faf.

The UK has more CCTV per capita than China (the highest in the world). It also has more prisoners per capita than China, not as much as the US though. China invests in its people, in infrastructure, schools, healthcare, roads, high speed rail etc. - something the US does not do much anymore because the US is run by profit seeking megacorporations and china is run by govnts that limit what those corporations can do, and a govnt that taxes corps properly so it can invest in the people and its nation.
