I see that there are different opinions about what is considered success to nostr. Is it censorship resistance? Privacy? User adoption? Slick UX? Overtaking centralised competitors in popularity? Venture capital funding?

Does nostr have an ethos? Does it have a culture? Compare it to bitcoin.

What are the important pillars of nostr?

What is the core mission?

How is it determined if nostr is on the right track? What is valued? What is success? What is failure?

What is the line that shouldn't be crossed? (Ie. In bitcoin Big blocks vs small blocks, 24M cap etc.) When is nostr considered compromised?
