Nostr is a step towards the finished version of the web, bringing it back to its decentralized roots. Nostr is not that new (taproot aside) pretty much everything that is done on nostr could have been done 10 years before. What's new is that people want it and have noticed it.
But nostr is not the finished version of the web. The finished version of the web will include nostr, and what exists today, but also have some key features:
- innovation will be 100% permissionles. No need to go to the NIPs, a new project will be as simple as starting a website
- massively scalable full data model, that includes text strings (nostr) and JSON (developer favourite) with powerful databases
- native paytments though lightning, zaps, and on chain, including all layer 2 and uxto solutions
- sub 100ms response and paint times so that everything looks fast and instant
- every person can have a piece of the web, their own storage, their own idea, their own apps, maybe a section in a game, a shared space with friends, private messages -- this will not require new projects or tech, just what exists
-- humans and machines working together, virtual assistants to help people and protect that, find them the best bargains, show them what is safe, automate their lives, in control of the user, not a company
-- removal or control of the algorithm, you pick what influences you, according to your tastes, you are not bombarded with advertising
We have a chance to get to this world. Even if we dont make it all the way, part of it might be enough ...
