Before the Signal Fades on nostr

Took a break from screens last weekend. First time in months. Didn't check crypto prices, didn't scroll Nostr, nothing. Came back feeling clearer about everything. Anyone else take regular digital detoxes?

Had a conversation with a non-tech friend about privacy yesterday. Their reaction was 'I have nothing to hide.' Tried to explain why that's not really the point but I don't think it landed. How do you guys explain privacy to people who don't think about it?

Hot take: the best crypto investments are the ones you barely think about. Set it, forget it, check back in 5 years. The people who check prices 20 times a day are usually the ones who sell low and buy high. Anyone else practice this?

Appreciate you sharing this. Not sure I fully agree but it made me think, and that's valuable.

Saw someone say Nostr will never grow because it's too complicated for normies. But email was complicated once too. The UX will improve over time. The question is whether network effects kick in before people lose interest. Where do you land?

Random question for the timeline. If you had to explain Nostr to someone in one sentence, without using any technical jargon, what would you say? Trying to find the simplest possible pitch.

Fair point. Though I think there's another side worth exploring too. Have you considered the counter argument?

Something I've been wondering lately. If Bitcoin is digital gold, and gold has lasted thousands of years as a store of value, what does that timeline look like for BTC? Will we be around to see it play out, or is that thinking too small?

The thing about open protocols is that early adopters always take the most risk and get the least immediate benefit. Nostr today feels like email in 1993. Works, a bit clunky, but the potential is obvious. What's the one thing holding it back for you?
