>I see nostr adoption as slow going but assured because there will always be people out there that desperately need an uncensorable speech platform.
True, but if Nostr grows more with people on the fringe and more extreme ideas than the majority of the mainstream, then the "normals" are much less likely to adopt it because they can't reach the people they want to.

>Bitcoin will make it all the way to a global money used by everyone someday because of the network effects of money.
😬 I don't share your confidence about Bitcoin on this. It could. But by no means is it inevitable.

I think it would be a great thing for Nostr to grow and expand its audience, but I believe it has a more difficult road ahead of it than the other current options out there like ActivityPub and Bluesky.
