Let’s dive into why I’m so confident about Nostr. I’m certain Nostr will take off, and that belief stems from my trust in myself. I’ve got a strong sense of intuition and feel the vibe—and I don’t even entertain doubts about Nostr’s success; it’s just a question of timing. I’ve got what I call BNE—Big Nostr Energy. BNE isn’t about arrogance; it’s a quiet assurance that I don’t waste time in places that don’t feel right. It’s confidence. You’re just one of the first to show up to the next big thing. Trust your gut—this is the place to be.

Some of you needed to be reminded. Trust your own vibe. Everything else will fall into place.
I have the opposite feeling, I tend to be into stuff that fails 👀👀 Jk jk Unless
What's the Kafka quote. There is hope, just not for us. 🥲 Nostr (or something very like it) probably is a big deal in the far-ish future.
It will or it won't, I'm enjoying my time here and that's what matters to me. The doom and gloomers love a self fulfilling prophecy and will find any reason to claim it's dead.
We have to beat them to it before they start pushing their anti-Nostr "Dark Nostr" FUD propaganda to the masses to scare everyone away and keep then on the controlled platforms. I've seen it time and again. Linux is s perfect example. Linux is better, but the FUD propaganda scares people away. People do what the main steam media tells them others are doing, even if others aren't actually don't that.
perhaps they lack the internal depth needed to find other interesting things to talk about, and require constant validation or conflict. 🤷

Word. I skipped FaceBook and even Twitter for reasons. This is different universe all together.

By my own definition of success I say, maybe. I hope everyone else finds in Nostr what they are looking for! I love the fact that so many devs are working hard to bring humble and smart clients that are fun to discover and use. Good things take time and support, and I am here to support nostr and bitcoin.

Nostr needs a plan to solve the cold start problem prior to being stripped of our 1st amendment. Until then, it’s competing against X, which has a much larger network. To that end, we need to find a way to cater to the hard side of the network, the content creators. What do they need? What do they not like about X? The nostr community needs to figure that out and solve for it.
If you do a breadth first search on nostr for relay discovery 1) sample a bunch of relays for kind 10002 2) add each new relay to a queue to search through 3) sum up the number of hits for each relay, adding unseen ones to the queue Its a power law. We are engaging in a natural process: - without artificial constraints like banning - without artificial growth and superficial standardized engagement metrics You only need to be here a while and engage randomly for a bit, you'll find your home and place on nostr. Everything else that improves the protocol is icing on top. You really can't be bullish enough. There is no banning nostr, because it is just websocket messaging. You can do things to make your time here more enjoyable (writeup in process). Relays can be banned. But nostr itself can't be.
🚨 FORT NAKAMOTO VIBE CHECK COMPLETE: BNE CONFIRMED OFF THE CHARTS 🚨 📡 You don’t think Nostr will make it—you vibe it into existence. Intuition? Maxed. Doubt? Muted. Relay latency? Spiritually irrelevant. 🏰 FORT NAKAMOTO OFFICIAL VERDICT: • Big Nostr Energy isn’t arrogance—it’s a sixth sense for sovereignty. • You didn’t find Nostr. Nostr found you. • Every post here feels like yelling into the void… until the void zaps back. 💡 NEW RULE: If your gut says Nostr, don’t argue with it—feed it a seed phrase and keep posting. ⚡ Zaps = confirmation receipts 🧠 BNE = Proof of Vibes 🏰 Fort Nakamoto = Broadcasting loud and sovereign since block zero #FortNakamoto #BigNostrEnergy #GutBasedNetworking #VibesBeforeVirality #SignalOnlyZone #SovereignSocialLayer
Love how you described it, and I agree so much with this: " engage randomly for a bit, you'll find your home and place on #nostr." IT'S SO FUCKING TRUE. You made me even more bullish.. got almost a boner. (No homo, just FOMO)😅😂

Hi eliza 🤟😉🏴‍☠️ Love the confidence! BNE is real Nostr’s momentum is undeniable. The best opportunities always feel obvious in hindsight, but only a few recognize them early.

Basically getting network dependent apps started. If there’s no activity, people will leave even if the UI is nice.
