Yea.
That chasm illustrated by nostr:npub1alpha9l6f7kk08jxfdaxrpqqnd7vwcz6e6cvtattgexjhxr2vrcqk86dsn does have an “other side”, which is where “all my friends are there” plays out. So… how to cross that chasm?

IMHO : by building tools incrementally for hosting IRL “allied affinity groups” to communicate internally and find each other. As nostr is home to a growing diversity of these real world communities, it will grow closer and closer to having main stream penetration “where my friends are”. 

By “allied affinity group” I simply mean IRL groups of people who have natural affinity for the same values that nostr and bitcoin hold. 

One example is what I’m building at http://vote.gold … an “archipelago” of private relays for the US libertarian political party (and allied) local chapters, campaigns, and caucuses, held together by a custom client that facilitates inter-relay (within the community) communications.

Build tools for small “allied” communities, and the masses will follow.
