Nobody should come here, look around, and think, "Oh, too bad. All the big npubs are already taken," and leave again.

This is the effect of the centrally-planned economy some clients have created causing us to think of Nostr as a pie, where you needed to be early, or to arrive with an entourage, to get a choice piece. This would make Nostr like Bitcoin (an object limited in size), rather than an economy, that can _grow in size_ dynamically and organically, and where there is movement up and down the rankings, and where businesses or entire sectors flare up and die down in a hot, wiggling mess of creative destruction.

Imagine if Elon Musk had arrived in America and said, "Oh, shame, all the good businesses are already taken. Too bad, I didn't get here, earlier. Oh, well." Someone should be able to show up, much later, and expand the economy so much that they end up with more of it, than almost all people who were there, earlier.

This, in the end, is the promise of capitalism and a free market.

Mehr Kapitalismus wagen.
