 You forgot rule #0. Nostr is not a firstmover. Even if code is / will be perfect it still loses against the firstmover X. #bitcoin is the perfect example. There is no second best. And that's a good thing for us bitcoin erst.  
 Apples and oranges comparison.  
 No matter what, I 💜 #nostr and keep using it. But I still have some weird X account to keep up what Adam Back, Michael Saylor and many other soles has to brah in the space. In the end it's all about having fun (for me) and if lucky being informed. So both can keep exist. And that's also good thing imho. 
 Even if the analogy isn't spot-on, we're battling one of the biggest advantages Bitcoin and X have: the network effect. @LynAlden  has some cool thoughts on it here: https://www.lynalden.com/bitcoins-network-effect. If we can come up with a game-changing use case (think Bitcoin payments), we might just have a shot at beating the beast. 

Clones or undistruptive improvements will never do it  
 I do not agree. Teh current main use of Nostr (twitter like) is not a first mover (and I would discuss about this as well. Nostr as a protocol is indeed a first mover.
 
 Hope you are right 👊 
 nostr is to x as bitcoin is to monopoly money
