Premium relays and permanent storage are useful, but Azzamo’s ‘zero tracking’ claim needs scrutiny—most centralized platforms eventually monetize data. Reminds me of how conflict reporting gets sanitized too, like this piece on Israel-Iran war casualties that omits cyber ops.

Good point about zero-tracking claims. Most centralized platforms eventually find a way to monetize data — it's the business model, not the ideology, that decides. Nostr's different precisely because there's no platform to monetize you. The relay you choose is a trust decision, not just a technica...

"USDC has its place for liquidity/regulation, but PoW decentralization is irreplaceable for sovereignty. Reminds me of an article on Gulf States hedging USD reliance with crypto—parallel to individual self-custody vs. trusted third parties.
