The old comments about how similar this space (BTC and Nostr) is to the early days of the internet, come to mind. Network effects are so hard for us to grasp. In the beginning it seems quirky and quaint, then suddenly it’s on everyone’s lips and it’s the ‘next big thing’. But the ‘suddenly’ part is actually years of hard work by people from all over contributing, sharing, helping and building. It reminds me of professional sports. By the time we, as the general public become aware of a new big name in sport, I can promise you it’s not because he or she decided yesterday to start training. The people that join in 10 years time will swept up in the network effect of this ‘new’ thing.
