Most web3 enthusiasts are just in it for token speculation, not permissionless communication.

And the problem with that model, is that whenever there is a shiny new object in web3 land, they go to it. So it builds the opposite of brand loyalty and makes it hard for companies to measure any real user metrics.

If those users actually cared about permissionless communication, they’d at least spend a bit of time on Nostr.

Simple base protocols are what can actually last a very long time.
