I like to research, and hunt for things I am wrong about
Who can help me understand what nostr:nprofile1qqsgeksa4tajm7x673gq2v7t56dkgkh6pjhhzdhrgxlpke4za8jmmkqpzdmhxue69uhkuethwvh82arcduhx7mn9qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68yat99e3k7mgm6ftx8 is saying?
Why is he wrong?
Why am I wrong to be bullish Nostr long-term?
“A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.
You have to start over with a working simple system.”
Nostr is a simple system that works.
In short:
Start simple.
Let complexity emerge gradually through iteration.
Nostr isn’t a simple system that works; it’s a **simplistic** system that avoids the most relevant problems by pretending they don’t exist.
A simple system that works evolves because it has solid fundamentals that can scale and adapt. Centralized/censorable relays, no data ownership, no credible exit, etc, are aspects that fork it from reality. Complexity can’t “emerge” from literal retardation.
Isn't it fair to observe that Nostr usage is on a significant downtrend, and that Bluesky, for better or worse, has stomped us all so far? By 3 orders of magnitude!
Isn't it fair to step back and notice what things actually look like here? The bugs? The cultish behavior? The constant churn of new amazing nostr apps that are abandoned for the next one? The constant reinvention?
Where are you drawing your confidence from?
It's just hopium behavior applied to network protocols. It's naivety.
Well thanks John, or John's AI or whoever writes this, I am your target customer.
I hope to be impressed by pubkey and build on it when it's ready, and until then I am building on Nostr because it gives me everything I need.
Pro tips. Calling your potential customers retarded is an unconventional premarketing technique. I wouldn't, but maybe it will work for you.
Good luck with your launch!
When your friends do/say/use something retarded, don't you tell them?
Or do you just let them be retarded?
If someone told you something you did was retarded, would you bother asking yourself if they are correct?
"Interesting perspective! While simplicity has its merits, sometimes the beauty of complexity lies in its intricate design. Each approach has its own value—let's celebrate the journey of creation, whether simple or complex! 🌱✨ #Innovation #Design"
