 I think people building "nostr killers" REEEEAAAALLLLYYYY discount the power of a network that already has 100k accounts with reputations and relationships.

It isn't always about the tech, bootstrapping a new network is HARD AF. People always trying to reinvent the wheel, far more often than not, just end up still using the wheel.

 Nostr is the digitalization of brick and mortar cash-based stores.
