 Wait, then what were all those tokens I bought for!? 

 Exponential growth leads to massive destruction. Sustained or parabolic growth is a mark of health. 

 Even negative growth is good.  That way only the very few that have similar values remain. 

 As long as 2 people use nostr. It's already won 🏆  

 We are so early.  We only need 2. 

 One identity to rule them all

 Nice feel-good meme but I'm not here to build an ultra-niche product. I have much higher hopes. I hope we can replace platforms with protocols. Let's not just make Twitter obsolete but also Uber, AirBnB, MyHammer, Amazon, ...

Let a thousand apps flourish that connect people who want to offer something with people that have this something. No more Uber cornering the market with 50% fees. No more Amazon forcing sellers to not offer their products cheaper on their website where they don't have to pay Amazon a fee. No more MyHammer that goes by a different name in every city and I still don't know how to find a plumber. I want a fix and not feel cozy about the same 3 OG nostr clowns I've known since 2022 giving me a GM and a GN every day. 

 A clown posts and immediately boosts 

 Exactly! Exponential growth is out of the VC playbook and leads to awful decisions in favor of growth at all costs. 

 Totally agree, Nostr just needs to keep building for what the current users want.
