It’s like Satoahi said: “No, don’t bring it on”. It’s way too early and I believe it is important to stay realistic.
But I do agree with you: the potential here is enormous as #Nostr can (and will) be used as a base layer for all communications. Being censorship resistant it provides a platform for unstoppable developers, content creators, freedom fighters and more.
It’s like an infinite positively charged loop.
I don't know that I was making an assertion necessarily! I'm too new here for that. More interesting to conduct a pre mortem. Serious question: If we would fail, why would we fail?
The biggest challenge I see is monetization. We’ve got brilliant developers working on the protocol and talented content creators joining. But if they do not get monetized, they won’t be able to stick around. A man’s gotta eat end of the day.
Centralized giants like Google and Facebook offer users pennys on the dollar while selling their data. Unfortunately rampant ignorance of the latter allows this system to work.
We need to come up with some sleek roundabout way to attract and, more importantly, retain users while staying true to the ethos of #Nostr.
Nostr already won.
