The lack of competative moats on Nostr is a double edge sword. For the builders to make a progitable sats flow buisness will require the type of the out of the box thinking most of them do not have.
My worry is that the data analytics that "could be" harvested might be the only product that might make money.
Still early but it keeps me up at night.
Quite compelling lens to consider is focusing solely on the users of Nostr as the most valuable component of the "Nostr stack."
Unfortunately, if you play the 📼, it ultimately leads us back to centralized platforms once again. As a result, this reveals a lack of competitive moats.
Only option I see is Nostr has to get so big scale wise, moats are non existant, kinda like the internet.
All of this to say its still early but everyone should temper expectations, Nostr will require a ton of financial investment injected into its ecosystem to grow.
I suspect DIDs will be the next "big thing" to come out of Nostr that could help in that respect.
But thats a whole other big can of 🪱 with its own difficulties as well. Will have to cross that bridge when we get to it.
