At one point he asked me: given the stagnant user numbers and such weird vibes on Nostr lately, what do we actually have going for us?&#xA;&#xA;I think what we have is extremely valuable and hard to reproduce:&#xA;&#xA;1. A protocol that actually enables a self-sovereign Internet &#xA;&#xA;2. A permissionless network of 1000+ active relays &#xA;&#xA;3. An ecosystem of 100s of projects building on Nostr&#xA;&#xA;4. A core set of ride or die users who hold their keys and are not going anywhere &#xA;&#xA;Seems like a solid foundation to build on. </html></oembed>
