Nostr Web Client

I doubt we'll see nostr companies having hockey-stick valuation growth curves.

The main reason FAANGs experienced such valuation growth was due to the ability to siphon off most value accrued from network effects.

Network effects in nostr accrue directly to users. Data ownership implies users cannot be extorted.

I've been thinking a bunch about this recently...

I agree, but at the same time, unless there is a sustainable way to build businesses on/around Nostr, it's unlikely to gain escape velocity to reach mass market adoption.

There definitely are tons of sustainable business opportunities, just not FAANG-size/speed

More importantly, there are opportunities the protocol (and it’s wide adoption) enables that couldn’t exist before

I would imagine companies will build paid clients, plugins, index services, and data analytics services that you can opt into. The beauty is that it has to be worth it to the consumer, and it's opt in. But I agree, I don't see someone making billions in annual revenue.
