Bitcoin is an internet technology and it took more than a decade and it’s also a community and it’s still not widely used for payment.

1. It’s not a communications technology.

2. Bitcoin had more users than Nostr currently has by 2011.

It’s peer to peer communication quite literally. I guess you mean in terms of social communication as in speech or media.

Yeah who knows where this goes 🤷‍♂️

Ehhh… it’s financial technology. No one actually uses the base chain for anything like what we’d traditionally call communication.

Pretending Nostr is as significant as Bitcoin, just because it’s the most decentralized communications tech we’ve seen in quite a while, is a big part of its problem with growth and retention.
