Nice write-up. Consider me someone from old Internet times when Web 1.0 was a thing. As much as I like #nostr, I have seen the same amount of excitement when Fediverse launched. But sadly it all faded away. And most people reverted back to Twitter though the loyal ones are still using it. The inherent problem with anything 'social' is: initially it's all good to chat with random people over newer ideas and make friends, but the 'network' becomes somewhat unusable when your 'real-world' friends don't show up there.

My point is Nostr needs some traction, some large scale media mention or something like that. Without that, I doubt people will stay here on this wonderful space.

Just my thoughts.
