Had a long conversation with @PABLOF7z this morning. At one point he asked me: given the stagnant user numbers and such weird vibes on Nostr lately, what do we actually have going for us? I think what we have is extremely valuable and hard to reproduce: 1. A protocol that actually enables a self-sovereign Internet 2. A permissionless network of 1000+ active relays 3. An ecosystem of 100s of projects building on Nostr 4. A core set of ride or die users who hold their keys and are not going anywhere Seems like a solid foundation to build on.

IMO, Nostr has already won. 💜⚡ Nostr's the first actual social network, the 0 to 1 event, the rest are just platforms where there's a chockepoint in the interactions between peers, controlled by an incumbent. What I think is going on with bitcoin and nostr, and with regenerative agriculture and homeschooling, etc..., is the restoration of p2p relations and the v4v economy at all levels of human experience😅. It's time. 🧡🙏💜

I think we need to focus on short videos if we want the masses. Seems like a bigger market than Bitcoin nerds and lightning devs.

True. Plus who GAF about normies if they are not interested in learning and saving themselves from the panopticon?

Wrong question. Nostr is here to stay, but which apps and services will make the jump to the next phase? Which concepts are running out of steam or commoditized? Which companies will grow and which will shrink? Who will run out of resources or get bored? Where will the momentum come from? **Who is autistic enough to keep going?**

NOSTR needs to be planted in front of large, highly censored groups, so they think they’ve found it freely. They will spread the word amongst themselves. It’s obviously not known if extreme or illegal groups aren’t using it.

and all of them are some flavor of twitter clone, mean while wen IRC-like group chat, wen calendaring and project boards and git discussion forums - devs are the biggest market for nostr tech actually, not people posting selfies.

What’s that saying? “It’s no measure of mental health to be well adjusted in a profoundly sick society.” We are the few that are not delusional methinks. 🤙🏽

Nostr is for everyone they just don’t know it yet

Once you see Nostr you cannot unsee it. And you're compelled to keep building at a loss because it's the right thing to do.
