lol nothing better than telling your 18 year old that a) if you had a secret and wanted to bitch out your co-workers and family, you would publish it on a website and b) we genuinely thought people would get smarter from the "information superhighway". 

We were wrong about some things. heh. 

 Protocols don't necessarily need a story, they just need to work and be easy to build on. Those that build experiences on top of it are the storytellers :-)

But, you need to focus on benefit for the user, not the people who made it. You're either fixing the Internet, which everyone agrees is broken, or you are not at this point. So "Nostr: What do you have to lose" (joke).

Nar, seriously, sell to devs on the tech - not story - leave the story to the product managers and marketers of the products built on top of it. Look at other frameworks and how they sell themselves. They don't tell a story, outside of being open, easy, and complex... that solves problems. 

 Yeah I would say leave the storytelling to the people who build product and devlop *user stories* and the UX people, who, if they correctly identify what problem they solve, will flow from there. 

Nostr is a protocol, not an app, and therefore should be sold to devs in the same way a framework would sell itself. You won't get any mainstream products selling Bitcoin and NFTs. People are burned out on that (thanks bros, no, really, thanks). 

 Really enjoyed that interview. Every time I see something like that, I get a little hope that we can get back... or forward... but the current state feel impossible. Thanks, Jack 

 Thank you for all you do. I despair at what happened to my internets, and have been at a loss about how to fix it. <3
