I don’t think Miljan is misrepresenting his client or Nostr. He made a design choice to improve user experience and every decision has tradeoffs. He’s discussed it, and the source code is freely available. Your analogy between primal and shitcoins doesn’t work. I can’t use solana on the bitcoin network. But I can still interact with the Nostr protocol via primal.

you can use bitcoin on solana through a trusted intermediary the analogy is sound but it would be even more accurate to say primal is coinbase
