I heard that some of the nostr devs are being paid very well.. Since you mentioned the money speech I would say that if you see $ in building something then close source and sell your start up! I will just make an example of Satoshi who saw the problem and fixed it without any expectations to being paid!

With all due respect you're wrong on many levels. First of all no, nostr devs aren't paid as much as you think and yes a lot of us are working for free with am expectation of making money later. Second, "build something close source and sell your startup" is a horrible mindset. There is almost never a reason to build something closed source. Closed source code is a temporary pandemic we're in the midsts of dealing with. And finally Satoshi didn't work for free. Satoshi has (rightfully) earned several BTC by mining Bitcoin at the start
