You’re not wrong at all small scale. But we’re still at the beginning. Heard someone recently suggest that Nostr wins in the long run because it’s the cockroach that refuses to die. And even projects like signal and simplex run into funding issues to run the relays. I really do think micro payments has been a missing technical component, we’ve never practically been able to stream tiny amounts of money privately.
For sure for this all to work Nostr needs to 100x in user count, if not more.
