It's algorithms that inspire hate. Nostr focuses on users through trust and stays away from hate through blocking. Free expression and exchange of ideas is Nostr's culture.
Many Bitcoiners have always maintained very hard-core opinions, even at the cost of their lives to protect financial freedom. There is no output of any negative or contrary opinions. But extreme disappointment often collapses in an instant. We don't need to be a perfect Bitcoiner, we can express our negative views to discuss more. Nothing is perfect, only constant improvement.

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day.â€
— Albert Einstein
This is why Nostr is bound to succeed, because there is a great group of users here. Willing to spend their own real money and time currency to take the risk of experimentation. 🫡
I agree, Jack did a great thing. Let Nostr grow naturally.
What worries me is that Nostr's clients and relays lack positive incentive mechanisms. Without Jack's financial support, most of them will go bankrupt. I wonder why OpenSats can't allocate some funds to fund Nostr and Bitcoin Lightning Payment's closed-source clients. As long as Nostr and Bitcoin applications can be promoted, I don't know what the difference is between open source and closed source. Let these closed-source products become competitive and self-profitable, and then fund OpenSats in the future. In this way, the Nostr ecosystem can develop healthily. This is also a good experimental direction.

Trust your instincts, this is the truth, but many people use some high-sounding reasons to whitewash this fact that everyone knows. Jack provided fuel for the Nostr rocket, and it is hard to know whether this fuel can successfully help the Nostr rocket escape the gravity of web2.
I see that many of the illusory slogans of Nostr developers for continued survival are based on Jack's donations, rather than following the logic of market business. People always like to shout utopian slogans, but ignore the problem of Nostr's sustainable development. When the psychedelic drugs that donated funds stopped, all that was left was a group of drunkards lying on the street.
I have not found a single open source toC application case. ToC applications lack a positive incentive mechanism for open source. Zuckerberg open sourced Llama because Meta missed the best time. He was forced to open source by competition and surpass OpenAI by imitating Android. The other reasons are all high-sounding. He is not an open source advocate. These vested interests who advocate open source are also unwilling to open source their current successful applications. The successful open source companies I have seen are toB companies. Most of the successful open source software companies open source some common tools in some emerging industries. For example, the big data and AI industries. After more companies use this tool on github, they provide value-added services around the tool. For example, Databricks.
Starting a business is difficult. You have to face team salary and product revenue issues every day. Lightning wallets also need to face legal risks. I understand Tony's pressure, but this is the price of creating new things. You can take a break if you feel you can't stand it. This is a rare opportunity to reflect and grow. It is common for startups to fail, and failure is a way to find the right path. But Tony needs to consider his future direction. "I've fallen out of love for Bitcoin and the industry."

You can watch the latest dramas and movies as quickly as possible, and you pay for convenience. It provides a unique experience. Just like we can find all kinds of free music on the Internet, but it takes time. A music subscription membership allows me to enjoy music very conveniently.
Now most of the open source clients on Nostr are paid for all users' subscription fees by jack through opensats. Open source to C lacks a positive incentive mechanism. If jack stops funding that day, most of the clients will go bankrupt.
The cruel reality is that the amount of money Zap provides can only buy a hamburger meal for developers, and cannot support developers' continued development. Only Jack's donation can provide the developers with salary guarantee for continued development.
Well done! Great work 🤙
