People sell drugs on Instagram. Do you think Meta is responsible? No. The person selling the drugs is. Obviously a marketplace is needed, we want Nostr to be capable of everything and anything. I'm thinking Will is just feeling a bit intimidated by @Vitor Pamplona amazing advancements in this wonderful protocol we call Nostr.

I'm not positive, but do you mean the guy who ran the silk road. A website that's sole purpose was drugs. Which would be the difference! The marketplace being built is not INTENDED for drugs. Same with any marketplace. But the silk road was purely for illicit product.
Not too mention, weather there is a marketplace or not. People could easily just organize deals in dm like Instagram. So marketplace or not it will happen. Which takes away any logic from Wills point ๐ค

Iโm not intimidated at all, he is doing his own things and that is great, thats what nostr is good at. Iโm raising a valid concern that would make me hesitant of building a marketplace. Unmoderated marketplaces is just giving appstores a huge reason to take down his and my app. Weird that you are reading my post this way unless you are just trying to cause drama for no reason.
But your concern isn't valid. With or without marketplace people can still conduct drug trade in dm, same with Instagram or any platform. Your just spreading Fud. Keep your eyes on your project instead of working about other projects. Do you think Samsung makes posts on there social media about how Apple conducts business? No lol.
Sorry but your a dolt if you think silk road was intened as a market place for drugs. It was a free and open market and set up as such with the tech available to make it as resilient as possible. The users decided to sell drugs.
