PSA:
Nostr is much more resilient than Bitcoin.
Many people find this hard to believe but it's really simple to reason about:
Bitcoin must come to a global consensus on the state of its ledger. Simply put, money must be universal.
Nostr does not have this requirement of a consolidated 'global'. Stuff can be distributed anywhere and people still have their own microcosm of Nostr, even when others don't know about you at all.
