I'm also curious about your perspective on various economic mechanisms people frequently discuss in relation to Nostr, such as v4v (zaps basically), ads, data monetization, dvm services, marketplaces.

Do you believe having the right economic incentives is crucial for nostr growth?
Discussion
I have written about the general idea of "value for value" before. I think it's just a marketing term for donations, and donations are not new nor revolutionary.

I've also wrote extensively about DVMs, they're just a bad framework for selling API services, and the economic viability of these must be analyzed on a case-by-case.
In short: it depends.
So would you say Nostr's growth would best likely come more from hobbyists building very good clients? And potentially some of those would solve users' needs in ways not currently addressed outside of nostr?
