Thinking more about the @gladstein bet. Not only would I take the over, but I would actually take an order of magnitude over 1M weekly active users by Jan 31, 2026. Maybe much more.
Made a bet today with a skeptic that Nostr will have more than 1M weekly active users by Jan 31, 2026
We are at ~35k today
That’s about 18 months from now
LFG 🚀
1) Current WAU count is already likely much higher than 30k (if you count reading nostr as active usage)
https://primal.net/e/note189hk9l3wg62ge0klc0jvadnpdegycjxflcwtqa2yslmetpe96shsfxzuw32) Two companies alone will bring us way over 1M users. And they've already got Nostr integrations live

3) Nostr Wallet Connect is likely to go mainstream as the global bitcoin/ecash payment standard and I expect to see every bitcoin/lightning wallet adopt it over the next year
https://nwc.dev4) AI agents coming to Nostr is real. As information goes infinite, Nostr is the only corner of the web where every note is signed (and thus trustworthy). And Nostr + Lightning is the only infra capable of banking these agents such that they can interop with each other and us
https://hivemind.vc/ai/https://openagents.comhttps://unleashed.chat 5) And ofc that's to say nothing of what will actually happen, which is that A) current UX will improve radically (making it easier to onboard noobs to existing use cases) and B) new unexpected nostr use cases will emerge, surprising even the biggest nostr bulls to the upside.
