My Nostr predictions for 2025
Exactly one year ago I published my Nostr predictions for 2024. Some came true, but most were, shall we say, aspirational, and, if we want to be generous, directionally correct. Happy to continue in the same vein and go out on a limb for 2025. Here we go, ordered by likelihood of coming true:
1. Primal will become much, MUCH better. Primal 3.0 will be a bigger leap forward than Primal 2.0 was. We will surprise everyone by the features, speed, level of polish, and ease of use.
2. Many other Nostr clients will impress by their progress in a relatively short time frame. If I had to pick one, I have a really good feeling about Highlighter.
3. Way more bitcoiners will join Nostr. While we currently only have a small subset of bitcoin enjoyers on Nostr, the new features and unique content will make Nostr irresistible to anyone interested in bitcoin.
4. Bitcoin-adjacent communities will start to discover and join Nostr. This will include health & wellness, financial twitter, human rights, libertarians, and other communities. As a result, the network will grow and become more formidable.
5. Spammers gonna spam. With the growth of the network, spammers will return in force. They will be sophisticated and relentless, putting all of our spam mitigation services to the test.
6. The Blossom protocol will make media hosting on Nostr much more robust and resistant to censorship.
7. Long form content will start to hit its stride on Nostr. This includes textual long form content (blogs, essays, articles, etc.) as well as long form video content.
8. Multiple Nostr projects will find effective and ethical ways to monetize, marking a watershed moment for the protocol. We will witness the formation of the first cohort of real businesses on Nostr, signaling the inevitable changing of the guard and the eventual extinction of the Legacy Web.
9. Nostr will experience a glimpse of what a ‘suddenly’ mainstream adoption moment looks like.
10. By the end of the year, everyone - even the haters - will realize that Nostr is going to win.
11. nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx will accuse me of not being bullish enough.
One thing is certain: we will keep pushing until we will this thing into existence. 🤝
Anyhow, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Pura Vida, and Peace and Love to you all! ♥️☀️
Humble bullishness, I like it. 👌😎
People on X want to know what nostr:npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l is up to, but you can only find out if you’re on NOSTR. 
It like hanging around to smart friends rather than finding yourself at a party attended by mostly retards with someone telling you, you can’t call them retards. 🫡🙌
The markets around the world are closed, it is Christmas day. Banks closed, Stock Exchanges, closed but somehow my little 5 dollar DCA every day Bitcoin Buy on nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 went though, again, like clock work.
Which is why we love it so. Never closed, never willing to help us move forward. 🫡🙌
You’re the best Ben, well there are other good bens, so don’t get any ideas above your station!!! 🫡🙌
Merry Christmas chief, you and nostr have helped make this year my best year in Bitcoin so far, and I didn’t even get anything published in Bitcoin magazine (although feel they were holding my stuff back). 🧐🫡🙌
Merry Christmas back at you sir. 🫡🙌
Happy nostrmas freaks!!! Lovely #sunrisestr in wales!!! Have a great day and orange pill the family, they are the most important people in your life.
I post to get ideas and thoughts out of my head but this is so special, thank you Bob. Those weeks ago when you said something I suddenly realised I had some responsibility for my posts……… but couldn’t stop a shit post here or there.
Brewing a post that I could never post on twitter, which is why I deleted my account. Nothing too controversial, but stuff that just has to be said.
Thanks you nostriches, you’ve changed my messages from engagement bating to something I truly value. nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg my handle pursuaded me to go premium, the idea of a Black and Tan halo…….. it is all about the Black and Tan. Happy Christmas you bunch of retards, I love you.

Can’t imagine not self custodying even with much less than 0.1. But then I’m a shadowy super coder. 🫡🫠🫣
He gave me the best gift ever!!!!
Love having Christmas back with my parents, brother’s family in the house, but massively miss going back into the kitchen every few minutes to thanks Dug for being my best mate through the year….
Have two spaniels here, which can’t replace a collie cross, even have a lovely black cat in the house, just not quite the same. #dogstr #catstr
END OF AN ERA VIBES.
NEED TO FIND THE WILL TO STOP CARING. MOST NEWCOINERS WILL BE FED TO THE WOLVES.
I really used to like Joe’s takes.
Love an evening in Wales. #sunsetstr
If I can’t exchange it for something in the future, it isn’t really storing value.
From ledger themselves, but then they had data breaches….. Fortunately my brother never set his up!! Sorted things out with a coldcard since .
Forgot to put the email picture.

So so glad the ledgers I bought, when I knew no better and before they destroyed my trust, that I gave away, meant I’m the one who gets these messages AND phone calls. I know to say gfy and ask the person on the other end about whether their family is happy knowing they a scamming honest people out of their hard earned money, would my 76 year old dad know this????….. they tend to hang up.
