Nostr has a marketing problem, so did bitcoin in it's early years. Adoption takes time, these points are extremely valid and there's no simple solution, except to let the network effects take effect and maybe even try to accelerate them however you like we all are nostrs marketing department after all.

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! 💜 note1e8g…wk8f
