Yes, and this too

Fiat's demise is evident, much like the post's flawed assumption that demand is driven by marketing, not value. Inflation is the culprit.

there is big nostr graveyard for this reason build a preview - float n see how many users really comes - without running on giant server - just build some metrics on daily usage - watch trend for 10 months

No, it is not a lie. The problem here is that nostr people haven't built enough. There are a lot of problems with Nostr adoption that could be fixed at the client level that Nostr hipsters refuse to add out of a vague feeling of superiority/"purism". The fact that Nostr events are permanent and "can't really be deleted", or the fact that you "can't really delete your own account", or you can't even edit your posts or undo an accidental like, are many legitimate reasons why normie adoption of Nostr hasn't caught on yet. Instead of understanding these issues and making client-side features that allow Nostr use to be very similar to legacy social media, while still preserving the base protocol, Nostr hipsters just expect the adoption of their favorite protocol to suddenly take off through all their clients as is, or worse, they are perfectly fine with this corner of the internet being a forever ghost town while Big Tech and Big Media stay powerful over human opinion. 🤡
