Nostr New Year Predictions 2023 and 2024

Last year, I predicted that we'd see popular #Bitcoin node OS platforms launch #Nostr relays and clients in 2023. BOOM! Called it! This actually happened in the first half of the year. Every single one of these platforms added support for multiple Nostr clients and relays, allowing Nostriches to be truly sovereign over their social graph.

Do you run any of these applications on these platforms?

Looking ahead at 2024, I believe we'll see the following with Nostr:

1) Algorithms: From personalized feeds powered by a curated algorithm store to seamless trending and user discovery on all platforms, advanced algorithms will be instrumental in shaping the user experience.

2) Onboarding and Discovery: As Nostr's technical infrastructure stabilizes, the client focus will shift towards streamlined user onboarding and engagement strategies. This will include the implementation of well-defined onboarding flows and user retention programs across all popular clients.

3) Mainstream Success: A breakthrough moment for Nostr's 'Other Stuff' ecosystem is imminent! We'll see a strong contender emerge as a mainstream user favorite. This could be any of the established client applications such as Zap.stream, Flare.pub, Flockstr.com, or Yondar.me, or even a yet-to-be-unveiled application built upon Nostr. Who's building it?

4) Active Users: We'll hit 1M monthly active users. As clients become fine tuned and more robust, the user experience will retain user activity, allowing us to reach new highs, thanks to the success of Nostr's mainstream "Other Stuff" client mentioned above.

---

Though challenging, these goals are fully within reach through our community's commitment to developing robust applications, engaging content creators, and fostering new communities within the Nostr ecosystem. Keep building, Nostriches. None of us are bullshit enough.

Happy New Year 2024!

Number 8) Mickey's Dick Smasher

I fall asleep in my bed and my vision slowly fades from black, I see myself at the entrance of Disneyland, but it seems a bit off. As I walk inside I notice a lack of people, not even employees are around, and all I have is myself, or at least that is what I thought. I fell my ears must be fooling me, as a familiar voice hits me with the softness of silk, β€œare you feeling lonely?” I turn back and I see the face of Mickey Mouse himself, once in my life I feel like I have a friend. His soft gloved hands touch my arm as he leads me somewhere, β€œno one should feel lonely in Disneyland”, he says as we enter the castle. A secret door opens right before my eyes, my field of vision is filled by the sight of a sign, I read it in awe, β€œMickey’s Dick Smasher”, I couldn’t believe it. Mickey touches my shoulder and looks at my face, looking into his eyes, I ask β€œis this real?”, he replies β€œonly if you believe it is”. I feel the soft touch of fabric as Mickey’s gloves run down my body, the buttons on my pants are undone. I feel my blood rushing down, never in my life have I ever felt so aroused. As he pulls me by the penis, Mickey positions me in the ride, feeling his warmth close to my face I hear him whisper, β€œare you ready?” I feel so excited I instantly ejaculate, β€œI guess that is a yes”, he says as he lets go of me and pulls a lever. I see the tracks of the coaster shaking, they are made of steel and seem quite strong, but the weight of the carts still makes them unstable. The bare sound of metal against metal makes me think of the brute force of the machine when my dong gets obliterated. The impact hits me, but the feeling is not as expected, my illusion is broken, I feel sweat in my forehead as I stand up from my bed, the water that was once escaping my body as sweat now leaves as tears. I couldn’t believe reality, desperately looking down my pants I cry, my dick is still there. I sob as I turn to the side and try to sleep, only this time, I wish I don’t wake.

I don’t have any plan on stopping using Nostr despite the FUD.

It’s definitely feels more like real interactions than on X. But I still use X because I like seeing what’s trending and arguing with people about things haha.

I honestly don't like all of the fighting arguing on Twitter.

When two opposing viewpoints clash it’s inevitable.

But it shows people really care about bitcoins future which is a good thing imo.

Here’s to 2024! 🍻

Happy New Year Derek!

Can't wait to celebrate the 10 millionth zap with you in 24

Happy new year

Is there anything like Craigslist built on Nostr yet?

Currently working on #2 πŸ«‘πŸ’œπŸ€™

Looking back on my 2023 predictions and my 2024 predictions and I'm seeing that I'm not entirely wrong, but I'm also not entirely correct either. One of them is way, way off though πŸ˜…

I'll post my 2025 predictions and reflections on NYE, just like the last two years. Maybe this time around I'll dial back the bullishness just a tiny bit πŸ‘€
