and i don’t believe the root is nefarious. i believe its immature. its a reformation of the Silicon Valley dream of fortune and fame. Unless everybody uses your project, youve “lost”. Its immature, Silicon Valley bro thinking. It ironically mirrors the behavior of the American Democrats, seeking the approval of everyone outside the country, resulting in them getting their asses handed to them. Nostr doesnt need to “win”. It needs to become stable, reliable, and consistent. The root subculture of wanting to live according to hype, “we will dominate the world” bro stuff, and feeling cutting edge excitement all the time is not just unrealistic, it will destroy project momentum through fragmentation and burnout. its why i personally believe people like nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s and nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn are carrying nostr in more ways than people realize. they just do the work everyday.
