What about all the other protocol ecosystems trying to do the same thing? Is it winner takes all? And then the rest just like die off? In which case if nostr is not the winner then nostr just dies off. Or maybe now is a good time for the ecosystems to work together, acknowledge that each ecosystem has its pros and cons, and see if there is any pooling of talent can be arranged.

Yes and no. I do think it's "winner take all" with respect to centralized platforms, because X will never interoperate with Facebook, same with TikTok, etc. The exception is Mastodon and that's where I think we need to do much more work, because that system _can_, in principle interoperate with Nostr. I still think Nostr wins in the long term, but in the short term it would really benefit us to have 2-way communication with the ~500k DAUs on Mastodon... Unfortunately, there seems to be very little attention and developer effort right now in bridges like Mostr and Momostr....
