For those reasons, the next big wave could be because of a need and not a want.

For instance a specific client or feature of the protocol.

And we know there are plenty of unique features with more to come.

Yup. Some people care more about unique features. I personally, gravitate more towards the content and focus less on the features because I don’t dev

Right, but Tik-Tok, YouTube, Instagram, etc all serve up image and video files on a screen, but the features of each a very different.

experience (sorry forgot that last word)

Yeah I guess so, but that’s not what really draws me as an individual in. I will totally learn how to use different/new features for content I like

But if the content is recycled across the platforms and not unique to the platforms, then there’s something about the platform itself that is appealing.

Very true

Like its features 😜

But features without unique content are pointless

Very true 👊

What got me on NOSTR was actually a search for “decentralized social media”.

A community I’m a part of was pushing Farcaster and migrating to it from Discord for support.

I was like, “what’s Farcaster”…saw that it was (purported to be) decentralized and I wondered if there were similar social solutions.

NOSTR came up…I saw it was Bitcoin based (economy wise) and further said, “why the heck would I go to an ETH based platform if I can be on a BTC one.”

…the rest is history!

Good origin story!
