What Nostr needs for network effect / grow: * Increase diversity - attract different hobbies and opposite views * Decouple from Bitcoin/crypto - the protocol doesn't require it * Make payments blockchain-agnostic if needed at all
After the first few days spent intensively on Nostr, I have a strong stagnant feeling about it. It looks like 10-25k active people and hasn't changed much in the last 2 years. I'm sure a lot of new people have joined, but I also see a lot of people who have stopped being active here. I see constant inflation of more and more projects... but they're only created for that small group of a few thousand people. The UX seems almost identical to when I tried it 2 years ago. It looks like people here don't want it to grow - otherwise I cannot understand why it's not growing. I really don't know what to think about it.
