I really love Nostr/ Iris/ damus whatever you want to call it. I also love bitcoin and I understand why its so important, I just don't understand the hate towards alternative blockchain projects on this platform. I get some are centralized and some are garbage but to say they all are garbage , just isn't true. Bitcoin solves the central banks and overspending a fiat issues. Bitcoin is the first and by far the most important cryptocurrency but, to claim its the solution to everything, is just not true. The future will be cross chain with many separate blockchains interacting, to solve all sort of different issues. Bitcoin is a piece of that future, but I dont see how it will solve all the issues. Not trying to fight here, just would love to have a discussion if you disagree or agree.

Is there any reason to get additional relays? If so what's the benifit?
