Think of Nostr like building a cathedral. It takes time. Brick by brick, client by client, one relay at a time. We’re shaping something resilient, open, and worth exploring. When it’s ready for takeoff, it won’t compete with the legacy internet, it will leave it behind. No glass walls. No gatekeepers. Just a network built to last, to stand the test of time.

I think of it being more antifragile, like a bazaar

That's what I thought about #lbry and #freenet / #hyphanet
I suppose the longer and stronger to build/test the more resilient.
I think one thing that sets #nostr apart from those examples I listed is that the protocol is actively being used and developed for all sorts of use cases. #zaps & the #bitcoiners only set it apart as good as the apps built using #nostr
