# Why We Love Nostr and Will It Stay That Way?

---

## Is the main reason we prefer Nostr to X that the community is small and like-minded?

* Nostriches have access to Devs and even get engagement from big users like Jack and Snowden

* We seem to value freedom, speech, and at least maintaining a relatively positive environment

* Bitcoiners are the majority and enjoy not being on the fringe

## What happens when Nostr scales; when the floodgates open to the masses? Will the elements we cherish disappear?

* Are zaps and the absence of feed algorithms enough?

* Can specialized relays solve this problem?
