Sometimes the scale of time needed to measure the adoption of a new technology, or mindset, is a lifetime or more. 15 years is nothing. It's a millisecond or less when you zoom out.
Bitcoin and web 3.0 pose a question. "What can we do with the decentralized, value-enabled web?"
The Urbit network was launched in 2013. The first user version (called OS1) was launched in April 2020. I believe the surges of recent interest in Bitcoin and Nostr will lead people to uncover existing technologies that could potentially aid in the development of Nostr or Nostr-related applications.
Personally I think BankX (XSD) is a noteworthy launch on Ethereum this year, allowing individuals to bear interest by minting their own crypto-backed stablecoins.
The emotional relationship between people and money is volatile. Until people focus on foundational changes in finance and governance, Bitcoin will remain a highly volatile asset. As long as it remains a volatile asset, there will constantly be attempts to distract and deter for the sake of profits.
The plot is whatever developers are doing right now. 😄
Several projects point to Web of Trust being a necessary development on Nostr. You can find out more at:
