My Nostr predictions for 2024
Today marks one year since I joined Nostr. It’s been a crazy year, but I have a feeling that 2024 is going to be much crazier. Here are some predictions:
1. Nostr social media clients will become insanely good. By the end of the year we will surpass the legacy social media clients in terms of UX and features, making them look like relics of the past.
2. More lightning wallets will implement Nostr integration. By the end of the year Nostr will become a de facto standard public lightning directory.
3. The bitcoin bull run will bring more users to Nostr, adding more gravity to the network.
4. At some point, a massive new cohort of users will join Nostr. We won’t be ready for them. Relays and other services (indexers, media hosting, etc.) will struggle to support them. After some hiccups, the Nostr ecosystem will adjust.
5. With the increased network activity, spammers will return in force. They will be sophisticated and relentless, putting all of our spam mitigation services to the test.
6. Long form notes will become much bigger on Nostr.
7. At least one “other stuff” content type will take off in a meaningful way.
8. Nostr’s censorship resistance capabilities will get tested in a major public episode.
9. The AI community will get much more interested in Nostr. They will be attracted by the idea that open source language models, combined with Nostr’s open social graph and publicly accessible data - could actually democratize AI.
10. By the end of the year everyone - even the haters - will realize that Nostr is going to win.
11.
@ODELL will accuse me of not being bullish enough.
Anyhow, GM ☀️ and Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🏻

interesting prediction 2024 👍
Happy Nostrday to you!
Stage 4 and 5 will be interesting to see.
9 Just depends how bad they get treated by civitai and the rest of places.
Wonderful note for the future, Merry Christmas 🎄🍵🤙
We are winning
Merry christmas😊☕
Solid list. Merry Christmas! 🎄🧡
This would definitely be an amazing year if these predictions materialize. We can do it for sure. Thanks for the thoughts 🙏
Love it. Let it rip!
Good predictions, I agree with most (specially 11).
Merry Christmas and thanks for Primal 🎄
Feliz Nostrdad,
@miljan! 🎄
Merry Christmas and happy nostr anniversary! Welcome to the 1yr OG club! 😉
Here's my prediction: "All of social and digital media is going to zero against nostr" - Max Keiser, 2025
Espectacular Miljan, creo que el 2024 va a ser un gran año para todos , feliz navidad 🎄🎄🎁
Very Interesting 🤔
LFG and MC!
I couldn't ask for a better post to test my NIP-47 Wallet Connect!
🎄Merry Christmas🎄
thank you for the great client
@miljan . Merry Christmas and here's to an adventurous 2024!
Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Was going to write a 2024 Nostr Prediction List and then read
@miljan's; he said everything I wanted to and with more skin in the game, so boosting his!

Don't know. Except 11. That's for sure!
2023 was just the warmup. LFG 🔥💜🚀
Bullish on nostr ! 🤙✨️⚡️
I predict
@Marty Bent will finally give up the Blue Check and be full time Nostr only.
gm mc 🎄 ☕️ 🧡
NEVER BULLISH ENOUGH BUT BULLISH AF
Got a lot of plans for other stuff 🚀
New Year resolution is to figure this space out. Does a guide exist for artists who want to put their work on Nostr and let people access content for Zaps? Thinking live and pre recorded. Thanks
GM ⚡ & Merry Christmas 😊🎅🏻
I think slashtags will have a product that competes directly with #nostr and may have better trade offs / censorship resistance
Gm! Exciting year ahead! Hope the predictions play out
> 1. Nostr social media clients will become insanely good. (...)
Agreed! Snort, Primal and Amethyst are phenominal and their futures look super bright!
> 2. More lightning wallets will implement Nostr integration. (...)
Question is... Custodial or not? I personally see Lightning's future with a lot of skepsis... but, might just be me. o.o
> 3. The bitcoin bull run will bring more users to Nostr, adding more gravity to the network. (...)
I sincerely hope that this isn't the only kind of new users. Would grow the bubble, but not help anyone else. :/
> 4. At some point, a massive new cohort of users will join Nostr. (...)
Mass adoption usually happens as the result of some form of panic move. I wonder; will Threads suddenly implode? x) Or will Twitter actually, for real for real no cap bussin PROPERLY die?! (im so sorry for that one. xD)
> 5. With the increased network activity, spammers will return in force. (...)
DVMs to the rescue?...
> 6. Long form notes will become much bigger on Nostr.
I hope so! Habla is looking real mighty. :) There are also a few specialized projects around blogging on Nostr starting to take shape - this will become interesting.
> 7. At least one “other stuff” content type will take off in a meaningful way.
Curious to see what this will be... I have a hope and a hunch, let's see which prevails.
> 8, 9
Pretty straight-forward yes.
> 10. By the end of the year everyone - even the haters - will realize that Nostr is going to win.
Haters realizing something? Uh... when has that ever happened, exactly? x)
> 11. @ODELL will accuse me of not being bullish enough.
Nah fam, he is too busy trying to fix his capslock... that is, if he is even trying. (:
Merry christmas to you too and I wish you a wonderful year on the Nostr!!
Good morning and
Merry Christmas ❤️❤️❤️
I like how bullish this is.
* Remind me in one year.
Wow, great predictions! Merry Christmas 🎁😊🎄
I'm hoping #nostr will be used by wallets to coordinate pay join transactions to increase privacy.
⚡️Merry Christmas nostriches⚡️
May 2024 bring you all prosperity and may freedom tech continue to go up

No. X will be important. Nostr not so much.
I don’t know whether either will matter when neither could prevent misery of wars and plagues.
🤔
But hey, let’s not worry about the pot boiling over
Looks pretty accurate ! Merry Christmas! 🎁🎄
Thanks for the Zap! ⚡️
Merry Christmas

Pretty good prediction list 🤙 #4 is exactly what happened when
@jack started tweeting about nostr
Im here to learn.
Merry Christmas
No one is bullish enough.
id be happy with just a default web client on nostrdotcom that n00bs can use

Dream big. Win it all.
2024
@Parker Lewis installs and uses Primal.
Optimism is a virtue 😌.
Powerful list. Pretty specific, credible, and inspiring. 💪
@11 reads like "Odell won't stay humble" 😅
Loving the predictions. To be honest I’m not as optimistic. I reckon Nostr in a year will be in a vaguely similar state as today. The user experience is amazing and the people are friendly but it’s basically a #Bitcoin echo chamber for now.
And my messages will start getting likes and comments!
Primal iOS review and lightning wallet activation Forward to the community I'm in 🤙

Just joined after watching the first 28 minutes of your interview with
@preston . Thanks for giving me the PUSH I needed!
I like your notes.
I hope #1, in particular, turns out to be an accurate prediction!
I’ll post my Nostr predictions for 2025 soon; but first, how did I do last year? 😅
View quoted note →Merry Christmas!
You made it happen
most correct. number 1 did not happen yet.
Love it ❤
