Most web3 enthusiasts are just in it for token speculation, not permissionless communication.

And the problem with that model, is that whenever there is a shiny new object in web3 land, they go to it. So it builds the opposite of brand loyalty and makes it hard for companies to measure any real user metrics.

If those users actually cared about permissionless communication, they’d at least spend a bit of time on Nostr.

Simple base protocols are what can actually last a very long time.

We’re on web5

Most of these folks are at least aware of Bitcoins importance. If they are curious, which most are, they are all on the path towards understanding the importance of censorship resistance, FOSS, and decentralization. My hope is that new regulatory presence in the space dampens some of the pump and dumping.

Problem is I hear very few outside of this space talk about it. I've been on for just over 1 year and have many good relationships... Wish some other influencers would start talking about it.

We're about to get into the silly season in the US with the November elections I think may be the only sane place during that time.

Yes. All I need is signed messages relayed. #nip01

There has been dozens of web3 socials and they have terrible retention and people only sign up for the free money funneled from exchange speculation, which mostly is losses that founders and early adopters vacuum up.

They are even admitting it's not really decentralized as "sufficiently decentralized farcaster.

It's just self hosted hype delivery systems.
