From a design point of view, a solution must be 10x its predecessor, or existing users won't migrate. Nostr is 10x for privacy lovers and those with something to lose; for others who care about comfort and ease of use, the duper mine effect of algorithmic social media, or the size of the audience, Nostr cannot appeal to them just yet.
The Q3 2023 Twitter Migration report is out: https://www.deweysquare.com/digital/twitter-migration-report/
It shows Nostr is holding steady after Threads tsunami. We’ve got users, interest, and development but we’re stuck in a bitcoin / crypto echo chamber. The problem isn’t the tech directly so much as culture. How can we cultivate millions of communities with their own values and norms. Sure they can use lightning for payments, but mostly people won’t be here because they believe in nostr or bitcoin. In fact for both to succeed we need folks who don’t care about the underlying tech at all.
