It’s not low conviction to point out weaknesses and discuss what can be done better.
Build, yes.
But for every 10,000 well built things, only a fraction get to market successfully - and they’re the ones who know how to build a comms engine around it (or just get lucky / right time right place)
Build first, keep vibes high.
Build first FOR SURE.
High vibes…meh.. somewhat useful.
But rose coloured glasses don’t solve problems, nor does ignoring them.
Speaking to customers and understanding their problems so you can craft the best possible products does.
That’s what I’m trying hard to do. Speak to content creators from *outside* of Nostr & bitcoin echo chambers.
When I made my comments last week, it was aggregate feedback from 75 in depth discussions/interviews over 6wks with actual content creators..
Vibes are cute. And yeh - important to be positive. But there’s always something to learn, and that implies talking about the not-so-great stuff
The ride will be fun, smooth, and entertaining if great builders will handshake with solid promoters.
The things we most want to see/achieve in the next 20 years can be accomplished in 10 years if planned and implemented effectively.
Just like Linux, I agree it's a great product, but some writers/promoters explained it very well that everyone tried and stuck.
The same goes with Bitcoin, We have great builders as well solid promoters like nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m, nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle, nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx, and nostr:npub1xeejes6lu4scttcmzytq5wfad3e6rljpmhc3snqs89xz3jjavfasnuz3mx
they are pushing bitcoin to the mass level with storytelling, i.e., Marketing.
We need some passionate promoters and storytellers to spread the word of Nostr, more passionately and in intresting ways.
