Wow HN is just hate these days whenever someone mention BTC in headline. If Nostr is successful, the hate will be amazing for missing twice in a decade.

I mean, if snort is an example of what can be expected its blindingly obvious it wont be successful.

Average users arent about to sign up to a "Censor-Resistant Decentralized Social Protocol". Most people wont even have a clue what that means.

It seems to be the same people that were convinced NFT's were going to be big that are backing it.

Not at all. Most Nostr proponents are Bitcoin maxis that generally hate NFTs. They are groups of people that are more aware of the limitations of freedom of speech and free markets on a constantly centralizing internet and aim to solve the problem.

Average users still don't understand Bitcoin, after 14 years. And yet, it is successful.

No. It's quite the opposite.
