Most people on the planet? No. Nostr is not normal. I think most on nostr can and should run an LN node. Nostr is still a very wealthy technically elite subset of the worlds population. If someone needs to take a loss and take that hit to make it work for everyone, this is the best place to find those people.

My node may never be profitable strictly speaking, but what about my on chain fee savings? Knowledge gained? Sovereignty gained? Ability to help other plebs? Ability to uncle jim? Only thinking in $ profits is not the way.
