You have posted previously about the early development of the web and a few people getting together to decide the future of the protocols which made things path dependent later down the track.
I can’t see that happening with nostr, certainly not with this bootstrap cohort of users and devs. Good luck herding those cats!
Let the relays melt - it will force decentralisation.
For the longest time I’ve said this is not made to be a global public square and the very concept of that is stupid.
Nostr should fragment. It should be small communities. It should be a relay for your family and another for the block you live on and another for your kids kindergarten and another for local news and so on.
On top of that we should each have 10-20-50-100 identities; I don’t want my poker playing identity attached to my block identity and I don’t want that identity attached to my political rantings etc.
Expect nostr to grow and centralise first before splitting and devolving into a hydra to avoid capture.
People will be using nostr and bitcoin with no idea that they’re using either - they’ll just know it’s the only way to communicate without bot spam and being gulaged for wrongthink.
