Nostr Web Client

Nostr has better network effect than Bitcoin. It should grow MUCH faster.

Nostr is governed by Metcalfe’s law, value of network = users ^ 2. Whereas BTC doesn’t get that luxury (buying BTC and HODLing does exponentially add value to the network).

I took Bitcoin 14 years to get to approx 500 million users. I suspect Nostr will get there in half the time, maybe much less.

What’s a better estimate? 25M users, 50M+ holders?

Probably 5M holders and 25M casuals

Holding = using btw

I like your terms better, accumulators / users vs casual holders was my point. 5M seems low with the address data we have, but that may be right. I see wide ranges often - 10M - 100M, commonly.

A lot of people generate new addresses for every transaction, inflating address data (in my opinion)

But it could be double digit millions
