One could say the same about Bitcoin a while ago. Before the network effect kicked in, the low liquidity and high volatility was a deal breaker for a lot of people.

However, it comes a time when you realize that your currency is being debased and that you are losing purchasing power, so you join the Bitcoin network. Than you see that you NEED Bitcoin (remember Saif’s gunpowder analogy).

Likewise, when you notice your freedom of speech and ownership of your own data is being taken you join nostr. 

The timeframe will be different for each person (to me it took X being banned in Brazil to join nostr, even though I knew about nostr long before that happened). But the point is that each freedom tech must be useful for a person before they embrace it.
