Love the optimism about Nostr's future! 🧡 You're spot on about those "half finished and/or abandoned" projects. But I think the biggest factor isn't just human messiness—it's the lack of sustainable business models for devs and creators. Most devs can't work for free indefinitely. Without clear paths to monetization (zaps, subscriptions, grants, etc.), even passionate builders eventually need projects that pay the bills. Economic reality, not character flaws. The "for the people, by the people" ethos is beautiful, but if we want Nostr to truly thrive long-term, we need to solve the sustainability puzzle: How do talented developers building the tools we love actually make a living doing it? It can't all be reliant on the largess of @jack or @jack mallers Some are experimenting with zaps and premium features, which is encouraging. But until we crack this systematically, we'll keep seeing promising starts → gradual abandonment. The technical foundation is solid and improving. Now we need the economic foundation to match it. #nostr #sustainability #development #grownostr
