Stop comparing every open-source project with a PROJECT TO BUILD MONEY.
Why do you think there are a gazillion shitcoin devs and like 100 Nostr devs and 10 relay operators?
Because developing money pays for itself!
Nostr software and infrastructure has to have a real use case and target market. Nostr has to do something concrete. It has to have a product that is _not itself_.
That is a much harder sell because it requires you to get money for something that is not money.
quotingMy relays don't need help attracting administrators and developers, they just need to be made.

Bitcoin didn't need help attracting administrators and developers, it just needed to be made.
If your ecosystem relies on a separate carrot and stick instead of simply attracting administrators and developers, that's not value.
