Thanks. I guess I’m heading back to where I was just before Nostr: no social media.
I had hope. May the good devs win this one. More white hats, less VCs.
I know I won’t resist checking back in a year or two to see how it all evolved.
Discussion
what is your reason for living?
As with everything it is a multitude of small things that influence my decisions… but:
On the surface I’d say I wasn’t able to find ways of using it that fit my needs/wants. I seek creative collaborations I guess. I enjoyed my time on stemstr but that “died”. I don’t see media being taken seriously yet. The echo chambers I fell into have a tendency of rubbing me the wrong way.
On the deeper side Nostr made me understand that my fascination with Bitcoin has more to do with Game Theory than Cryptography. There are no incentives on Nostr to play fair. Not for the relays, not for the clients, not for the users.
Add to that the hypocrisy of major players in this space, shouting that V4V is the only way all while signing investment contracts for clients and media players.
Monetization has to be sorted out. Sats have to flow and being redistributed constantly to participants and infrastructure.
