sounds a little defeatist and whiny .... profits not what they want as mining is less successful would be my guess. very bait and switch behavior. 

 I ❣️ Nostr
And frequently check even on a busy days 😊
That's..... almost hopeless romantic quote

 (❓) Yes. That note is so misguided to me. You don’t deserve *any* of that. You know better than to take it personally.💋🦁❤️

From what I can decipher, he’s just frustrated. But he needs to be patient and take the high road when it comes to criticism. 

I know, easier said than done. But still, I hope he keeps building and creating because Damus is a beautiful gift to humanity. The world just doesn’t know it yet. 

Damus is my favorite. For me, Damus is nostr. I wouldn’t be here without it.🫂💜 

  @jb55 Jack's observation is on point.  Keep in mind he has been doing this for decades now, not to mention creating a social media site from scratch. You are taking this totally out of context.  He was simply stating fact, that the masses do NOT care about Bitcoin, sats/zaps, privacy, free speech, decentralization, etc. etc. etc. Although he did state he wishes this wasn't so.

If Nostr wants to attract the masses and RETAIN users, you are going to have to accept this reality, and try appealing to their interests/wants/needs.  Providing  "diverse" content/opinions/functionality. Clearly the foundation has been established here on Nostr, however, do not ignore the real reasons why people are on social media. Nothing wrong with EVOLVING and admitting why the masses use social media and/or the web.
