I see gemini as something that has the potential to be a big hit over
Tor, where people run local services on their home machines. In this
case, SSL is redundant and it's kind of a pain to deal with.
But there's really no reason one couldn't just use file:// or even
http:// I guess.

If you're already on Tor and using onion encryption to secure your

traffic, there's almost no need for Gemini. You can setup a simple

HTTP server and just serve files on it. Gemini's instistence on TLS +

TOFU makes it difficult to use on any overlay network that has

encryption out-of-the-box. Even Gopher works fine over Tor if you so

wish it.
