If we want Nostr to win we need to up our game, the competition is not static.

It’s a harder sell to normies , BTC has a powerful tool called fomo.
this sound as an attack on nostr 😑
the browser extensions required by some nostr-based apps will forever limit user adoption. that needs to be changed
It's a pity that nostr:nprofile1qqspwut66nfqu2jztndq5gv4vf9q5jnncnmfwhckk9vnljrl53hj6kqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvh8w6tw9uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tc0rh42p seemingly has discontinued to work on his FROST project, which would have enabled nsec key rotation and more. I hope he continues...
Would be cool if there was a "trending apps" section in clients.
The competition isn't built with Bitcoin..
From my perspective a big problem to overcome is this:
An outsider's first impression of Nostr I imagine is "twitter for bitcoin bros".
Most regular people don't have the time or inclination to get into something new like that.
And it's difficult to find people talking about similar interests if they aren't into that.
No matter where I look, 99% of the conversation is "FOMO this, FUD that, and bitcoin blah blah blah"
It appears that the platform is attracting only a sliver of the overall market of people willing to use non-mainstream platforms.
Most regular ppl are not on twitter, we need more bitcoiners here
Ya, that sounds great. I'm just think other things are interesting as well.
& @NVK more bitcoiners sure, but nostr (and it's most attractive clients lke nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg) is definitely plagued by an overemphasis on Bitcoin. The protocol itself and its visionary principles could be a great source of attraction for FOSS types and the Twitter braindrain more generally (most of whom are still adrift I might add). Creatives who could be greatly benefitting from the lightning system are turned off by the goopy ai-art-adjacent UIs & the upfront emphasis on Bitcoin which is an immediate buzzkill and will remain despite a bullish Bitcoin imo. This amazing Bitcoin use case should (and will) come downstream from nostr adoption.
