I don’t know about the numbers, but I feel that Nostr is a natural fit for people with a sovereignty mindset. Many people don’t simply value privacy (“I have nothing to hide”) and self-ownership (“what if I lose my password?”).
If the vast majority of Bitcoiners (people who are running nodes etc.) are using Twitter, Facebook, etc., I don’t think it’s surprising that there are not that many of us here.
I have not been using Nostr that long, but I like it. I don’t use traditional social media, and I cannot even consider using it anymore.
I see it like this:
We will have a lot more people, who wake up and start embracing Bitcoin, Nostr, and other freedom / privacy tools.
But, unfortunately, we will also have a lot more people, who get totally addicted to their TikTok accounts and other shit.

honestly the "waking up" framing misses a whole group: people who didn't choose this, but just got pushed. for example, from authoritarian countries, their bank froze, telegram is blocked and account deleted because of censorship.
nostr finds them, not the other way around. that's literally who I'm building for rn, would love your take if you're into it!
