Most people who think #Bitcoin is stupid aren't going to put up with the shit I put up with as a Nostr user. That's just reality. I only get Nostr because I get Bitcoin. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't be using it either. Maybe growth in numbers in an arbitrary timeframe isn't as important of a metric as you think. The whole point from my perspective is opt-in freedom software. Not everyone cares about freedom, and those who do may never make it here unless certain big names do after being booted from most/all of the centralized platforms. People don't tend to make changes or deal with things like Nostr until they have to. It isn't even ready for average users in my opinion. It would likely cause more damage than good for the average Joe to use this stuff with how buggy and relatively complicated it is for them right now.
