 Why are there so many devs working on Nostr? Like what is the incentive? How are they getting paid? Genuinely curious to know how that works 
 Nostr is easy to build on and it's super fun. Sometimes we get paid and sometimes we just do it for fun. I've done contract nostr work, been zapped for PRs, and received splits from donations to a project. Mostly I just build stuff for fun though. @OpenSats provides grants to Nostr devs, but I've never applied. Some projects have raised funds from VCs. The party is just getting started. 🚀  
 Because it's cool and people like building cool shit
