Nostr gives you the possibility to self host your digital identity, your tweet, your voice, your content and monetize it on your own term.
This was before impossible, you had to give up your digital identity to big tech companies and use it on their own term.
That alone is a huge incentive for people to run their own relay and host their own voice
Been reading up on the nostr protocol and comparing it to the DSP I wrote about in 2021. Many of the details seem to have been worked out brilliantly, but one thing that worries me is the reliance on volunteer nodes.
It would be nice if there was a business model for nodes and node competition at the protocol level.
As it is, I wonder if nostr can scale.
