It makes censorship hard. You can’t ban an account. You can’t stop someone from running a relay.

Senator Elizabeth Warren is introducing a bill that could cripple Nostr. It would require Bitcoin node operators and lightning node operators to register with FinCen and implement a KYC/AML program. https://www.coindesk.com/consensus-magazine/2023/02/15/4-reasons-why-lawmakers-shouldnt-back-sen-warrens-latest-crypto-bill/
