I really like Lyn too. I dont agree with your conculsion though, Nostr has already 2x the daily DAUs of Hive's monthly! https://stats.nostr.band/and seems to be growing in Dapps and adoption. I see the main argument that everything doesnt need to be on chain seems to be true in allowing building Dapps and tools. Hive doesnt win on decentralisation either as everyone isnt equal and some insiders extract value unfairly from others. Lyn wrote a great article on this too. https://www.lynalden.com/proof-of-stake/
With Nostr having huge funding support from OpenSats, their future is looking more secure than Hive.
Nostr does have some good momentum! Maybe time to revisit the idea of the Hive/Nostr bridge.
I think Hive deserves more active users.
A bridge would make sense imo!
Thanks for your comment. I learned a thing or two, and maybe I'm wrong.
I agree that PoS has weaker decentralization characteristics than PoW, but Nostr isn't using any form of consensus, and I just don't see how it remains decentralized at scale. Paying relays to serve your content to others seems too much like web 2.0 to me.
And 18k vs 9k daily active users just doesn't provide an adequate test. (Where can you quickly see Hive DAU btw?)
you read me wrong, Hive has just 10k MAUs! Nostr has double this just DAILY! Nostr MAUs are probably 15-20x that of Hive.
the last Hive stats were by Dalz:

Oh wow! Thanks for clarifying. Well that doesn't look good at all.
There isn't any growth on Hive sadly. Without NGU, people won't come. And NGU requires good tokenomics.
I see you started powering down all your hive. are you unwinding your entire position?
yes probably.
