nostr has its issues. but for those who figure it out, it’s the most powerful network that exists today. challenge is helping more people figure it out.

likely most of that won’t come from social use cases, but rather the microapps that @3bf0c63f originally envisioned and folks like @fa984bd7 are focused on building.

the power of this thing is the ecosystem part. it’s permission-less, meaning anyone can build whatever they want, and it has a permission-less global payment system readily available through bitcoin. but neither will sell people on joining it.

if the apps built on top of nostr do valuable things, like https://highlighter.com does, then every nostr app and use case benefits, including the social clients.

this is going to be a long road, but one that fundamentally changes the way people experience the internet. if it doesn’t succeed itself, it will certainly inspire the thing that does.
