#Nostr would do extremely well if the self-sovereign identity thing was positioned better. That's the best part. Use one identity for multiple apps - blogging, pinstr, fundraising etc and you could get zapped everywhere
It has to be an ecosystem and not a random, one-off replacement to Twitter
Imo nostr:
1. Got labeled under “crypto” in the tech world.
2. Is not an escape Elon destination like blue sky
3. Is not positioned well (censorship resistant) though that’s a really strong quality - people just don’t care)
4. Is not doing a good job to cater to groups of people jumping here
5. Is not catering to younger audiences - old people building apps for old people (yes I’m considering myself old here) - not saying it’s bad
6. Doesn’t have anything obvious going for it - it’s not actually the case but to an outside observer - they can’t tell what we’re excited about.
7. Is still hard to find things on
8. Lacks content
Doesn’t help that all of this also requires people abandoning their network - which almost never happens, hence need for more interesting use cases or join-as-a-group UX.
Not saying all the things I listed are bad either. There’s clearly something very important and very interesting happening here or we wouldn’t be here.
I love nostr! 💜 View quoted note →
