my hopefulness for the longterm success of nostr swings between excitement+optimism and total despair. there is no inbetween. it honestly could go either way.

to me it has already succeeded, but some people might only see success as complete world domination.

I would definitely like to see it grow a lot more, but if this is all it ever gets to I guess it is what it is.

one thing for sure is if the funding dries up and working on nostr becomes unsustainable, I can rest knowing that the clients and tech I have built will keep working long after I'm gone.

So many startups and web apps come and go, but protocols are forever.
