There is no problem. Everything is operating normally.
It’s completely natural that the bitcoin community, which embraces decentralized options, took to it first. It is, therefore, the largest community.
Other communities will take to it, as well, unto their own needs. We are seeing this play out in real-time. Their communities will naturally be smaller, at first, versus the more established bitcoin community.
It’s not an either/or. There isn’t a limitation preventing the growth of any community - that’s what makes part of the nostr protocol great. It’s just early days.
Early adopters of nostr (from a community) should really be seeing this as a time of opportunity. They get to help build their community, and their influence will play a key role.
It makes me think that the people complaining are those less interested in community and more interested in selling something. And one thing I’ve seen over and over again, from the radio ham community to bitcoiners to homesteaders - its community over shilling products. V4v, sure - but that’s not what’s making nostr thrive right now.
Eventually, there will be more robust stores for them to sell their products via nostr directly.
But this is not your typical algo-driven social media. People here talk to others because they like what they have to say - not because it’s rammed down their throat.
