I heard an interview with nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr on nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy and was blown away by the Nostr ecosystem. Had no idea there were so many apps, critical use cases and future possibilities. And while many of the existing apps are useful, it’s the long-term potential of the network that honestly made it hard for me to sleep for a couple days when I first grasped what Nostr really is.

I’ve never tried to build a following on any social media and don’t have much of a presence on Twitter, but I feel completely different on here. While the zaps are awesome and definitely motivating, I’m even more interested in learning as much about the network and actually constructively contributing to it in whatever ways I can. My main motivation in using and helping build up the Nostr network is ultimately for the goal of freedom and human flourishing. May sound super corny, but I’ve found in myself and others that when we are motivated (or at least partially motivated) by meaningful, intrinsic drivers like that you tend to attract people that want to positively contribute to networks like this, not just passively consume. I think that’s the main reason why users in here tend to be so disproportionately hands on and engaged
