I’m going to call it: I think Nostr has peaked

I’m pretty much a Bitcoin maxi but even this level of Bitcoin craziness is too much for me.

I think 99.9999% of people are going to take one look at this and run in the other direction.

Nostr really needs a reboot. Perhaps a client with no crypto at all so no crazies are attracted or maybe a client with multiple crypto support to at least bring some balance to the force.

At the moment it feels like you’ve fallen into a Bitcoin religious, pagan, occult, Baal worshipping ceremony. It will need a miracle to get over this.

Ok. We’ll see.

Ugh. Thanks for writing this. My feed is just about Bitcoin and I’m trying my best to follow non-BTC folks.

“Multiple crypto support”? Makes no sense to commingle the hardest monetary asset known to mankind with a bunch of unregistered security scams.

#Nostr is far from peaking. Plenty more to build using this protocol. The bitcoin folk are having fun. It's a new toy. It'll take time for the geek to wear off #[1]

I agree, very bullish on Nostr tech.

Maybe some paid topical relays might help.

Great thing about #nostr is that if you want all of what you mentioned the protocol is open and there for you to use.

And plenty of open source software to fork.
