This sounds accurate, I would add one last thing, the more you push, the more probability of success you have. 

To end with something positive :)

That’s why startups work 12 hours a day, and even at night while others sleep to get things done at the last minute, it takes dedication and a touch of insanity to create something truly unique, there is no easy way.

Large corporations can burn shitloads of money, and get pretty much nowhere, where in comparison startups could run circles around them, it’s not always about capital and resources, because a lot depends how you spend, and who you give it to.

My perception of Nostr (for the little I’ve been around) is that the devs are legends, but the communication, marketing, and education parts are a little weak, nothing that can’t be fixed.
