Very bullish here. From my experience so far, it comes down to the WoT. It goes back to what you said earlier about Nostr, and the culture being built here.

You MUST establish a valued reputation first. It will take time, and you will have to grind, but if you're willing to do PoW, you can establish that reputation.

Once you've established that reputation, as long as you maintain it, it will grow exponentially via WoT. Fiat minded ppl do not understand this, which is why the Nostr community/culture is ahead of the curve.

Anyone here now, that is willing to put in the work, will enjoy the rewards of being here first. Just my 2 Sats.
