Great post. I am very opinionated about nostr but see it being good at specific things, but not encompassing everything and the "growing pains" of tough problems they need to solve while they try to make it work for "everything."
You mention it some here but the intersection between Decentralized Identity and Nostr has a lot of promise IMO. It's just a shame that ego's get in the way of the two groups seeing how they actually do compliment each other. Turns out there's a reason why the DID spec is "complicated" (its not, but more complicated than nostr I suppose). And to the DID community - the jealousy of nostr building instead of talking and bike shedding for half a decade with hardly anything to show for it.
In the context you used "meme", it could be seen as derogatory. Whether that was your intention or not probably doesn't matter. the "meme" usage is not my main point.
My main point is that many people in Bitcoin believe that a change to the supply in any way is heresy worth fighting over. If you can change something as fundamental as the overall supply on the fear of some possible bad outcome for the miners, then the integrity of the project is in question. A contentious fork is in the offering be default on this file.
As for your last point on my apparently symbolic statement. it's a semantic one.

my concern is the verification - not the payment
Great heuristic on how the system will try to control you based on your inclination to obedience.
