Not everything needs a business model - Non-commercial FOSS is also a viable option. I generally think companies are preferable, because they're self sustaining. But sometimes you can't combine the software with a business model. Mutiny is an excellent example of being "high risk / low reward" (I.E risk going to jail for cents on the dollar of micropayments).
Nostr is doing just fine with almost only being FOSS - We already know a lot of people will just develop clients for themselves and run relays pro bono. I have no worries there.

quoting nevent1q…8pyjWell said. However I think the lack of real business models is the primary reason why most bitcoin and nostr projects will fail.
One cannot just try to make a great experience and hope to monetize it later. Not without endless VC money, and rarely even with it.
A great way is solving *painful* problems, and charge for it.
