> decentralized anything never works at scale I'm pretty impressed by this thing called 'the internet'.

While your point is valid, I think the "propagate all ledger entries to all nodes" kind of decentralized is different than the "route around broken nodes" kind of decentralized. I'm guessing GP meant the former not the latter.

Nostr isn't a blockchain...

ah physical key has the same properties and end-users seems to have been accepting that just fine for hundreds of years

I hate when I lose my house key and just have to leave it and go buy a new house somewhere else.

You would need to buy a new lock tough wouldn't you? Unless you had a spare key, but that would have worked with a digital key as well, right?

If someone stole your key, then they could've done anything to your house while your away, just like with a digital key, right?

Nobody with my house key can impersonate me in my house from anywhere in the world without me knowing. The signed and notarized documents involved give me a legal avenue to remove anyone who obtains a key, instead of just abandoning the house and the equity to identity thieves.

na but they can steal your belongings couldn't they. Obviously I didn't mean that they have all the same properties, because then they would be the same thing more or less, but that they share some properties...

literally not at all similar to a house key

similar in some aspects surely, you can't say that they there is 0% overlap can you?
