 I take a completely different view.  Nothing is inevitable, not even nostr.  Every project wants to grow 10x.  But not every project can grow 10x, maybe only 1 in 5 can, maybe less.  Which means 4 in 5 dont make it.  So the odds are against.  Our rivals have gone 10x in the time we have gone sideways.  Instead of complacency we should learn.  We can load the dice in our favour by trying to get as much as possible right.  But it's all good.  The next level of nostr might not be as fun as this level, and there will be nostalgia for what was before.  Rather than better, it will be different.  So enjoy each phase of the journey, try to lean towards the good, and give ourselves the best chance in what is a big challenge, but one that is worth trying.
