For Nostr × Bitcoin to work as a real, living economy, more people need to truly understand that — and sellers need to keep going without giving up.
It’s exactly the same with physical stores: opening one is easy, but continuing is the hardest part.

Nostr feels like healthy, well-prepared soil. All that’s left is to keep sowing (even though I’m not participating in business here yet 😅).
It takes time to put down roots.

I know, people here like to celebrate that sparse dozen or so sellers who are offering stuff on Nostr, none of which is on my personal shopping list. But has anyone tracked how many sellers have dropped off from here in the last year or two? I can think of two or three just like that.

You can cheer on 'Price Up/Down' all you want, but the fact is, we're failing miserably right now at building a circular economy based on Bitcoin. And that means we're also failing to live up to Bitcoin's promise of freedom. And if we can't make it happen here on Nostr, then nowhere.

Not that we look back in 15 years and think, yeah, that was a nice collective dream back then, but it just didn't work out.
