What do we lack?
Where do we lag? 

 Leg day  

 Arm less I suppose 

 What competition? 

 It’s a harder sell to normies ,  BTC has a powerful tool called fomo. 

 i don't think there is a need anymore for "better" social media in the coming years... nostr as protocol is great but the use case hasn't been found/needed yet 

 this sound as an attack on nostr 😑 

 the browser extensions required by some nostr-based apps will forever limit user adoption. that needs to be changed 

 It's a pity that nostr:nprofile1qqspwut66nfqu2jztndq5gv4vf9q5jnncnmfwhckk9vnljrl53hj6kqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvh8w6tw9uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tc0rh42p seemingly has discontinued to work on his FROST project, which would have enabled nsec key rotation and more. I hope he continues... 

 I agree, we need to make it easy for users to choose hosted nsec bunkers like fountian.fm does. 

 Would be cool if there was a "trending apps" section in clients. 

 The competition isn't built with Bitcoin.. 

 From my perspective a big problem to overcome is this:

An outsider's first impression of Nostr I imagine is "twitter for bitcoin bros".

Most regular people don't have the time or inclination to get into something new like that.
And it's difficult to find people talking about similar interests if they aren't into that.
No matter where I look, 99% of the conversation is "FOMO this, FUD that, and bitcoin blah blah blah"

It appears that the platform is attracting only a sliver of the overall market of people willing to use non-mainstream platforms. 

 Most regular ppl are not on twitter, we need more bitcoiners here 

 Ya, that sounds great. I'm just think other things are interesting as well. 

 & @NVK more bitcoiners sure, but nostr (and it's most attractive clients lke @primal) is definitely plagued by an overemphasis on Bitcoin. The protocol itself and its visionary principles could be a great source of attraction for FOSS types and the Twitter braindrain more generally (most of whom are still adrift I might add). Creatives who could be greatly benefitting from the lightning system are turned off by the goopy ai-art-adjacent UIs & the upfront emphasis on Bitcoin which is an immediate buzzkill and will remain despite a bullish Bitcoin imo. This amazing Bitcoin use case should (and will) come downstream from nostr adoption.
