The key lies in the organization of events. The regular events on the popular clients are essentially a a stream of unorganized notes were the context is usually about what happened that day. But books, magazines, courses, videos, and even personal notes all have a lot of context to work with. The question to solve is if you find a unified way to organize these things, so you are able to be immediately pointed to things you care to learn. If you're just storing text, you have a lot of room to work with. That's why nostr scales so well, because it doesn't need to deal with more expensive storage, just storing and sending the text events.
But even a video, if its a lecture + slide show, its just an image or video with commentary, so you can transform it into an article where you have images and a cleaned up version of what was said.
Large file hosting is a puzzle, but the combination of centralized, self hosted and distributed (Nostr x Blossom) is already compelling.
The Bitcoin standard is an interesting idea, but if the game theory is solid, it wins in a free market. Otherwise, the better system wins - I'm okay with that.
