Nostr year-in-review time.

In the latest episode of nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wvf5hgcm0d9hx2u3wwdhkx6tpdshsqg9dn4pzq07jfq829ewyceze8gp8wz9whc4s92nqh4a36end4fds35xl9mtm, nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqy28wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytn00p68ytnyv4mqqg8cumryxsh3upfysp3suflpq9kuud0u8fs5uczrflh54gjsxv5v4yqjvug7 and nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd4hk6tcqyprqcf0xst760qet2tglytfay2e3wmvh9asdehpjztkceyh0s5r9cpvx58v joined nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyv8wumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsqzqkcpsw4kc03j906dg8rt8thes432z3yy0d6fj4phylz48xs3g4373hv8n6 and me talk about the “Nostr bear market” that hit when timelines got quieter, and why it wasn’t a death spiral. It was infrastructure season. Fewer tourists, more builders, better pipes.

We dig into what actually improved in 2025 (clients, discovery, culture, value-for-value), why onboarding and web-of-trust still matter, and what we’re most excited for in 2026 as Nostr keeps expanding beyond “Twitter but decentralized” into something bigger and weirder in the best way.

I'm curious, what is "Nostr bear market"? Do we have numbers to actually get some rough ideas of DAUs, etc?
