Nostr is now the Bitcoin Twitter to which I signed up in 2017.

It’s not easy to admit that I sunk too many hours into a dying platform, but I’m happy this little pet project I first found out about from Ben Arc in the summer of 2021 has grown so much.

Just a month ago, it was unusable and it was hard to find good relays. Now people are making instant payments to each other and submitting proposals for marketplaces and other cool ideas.

My only concern is that the project will eventually run out of funding and require to make money somehow. Hope we’ll figure out a way to support it in such a way that it doesn’t need to get bloated with ads (though it would be cool if mainstream companies paid for ads on Nostr, that’s extra acknowledgment).
