What scares me even more is when the community begins to deny the technical hurdle. I call this the "torrent effect" because the same thing happened to the torrenting community.
It is undeniably super easy to get into it, the community thinks it's easy, I think it's easy but the fact that normies don't use it is evidence enough that we failed somewhere. I don't know where but somewhere we did.
The same could happen to Nostr. It's too early to be pessimistic about the "torrent effect". But people already beginning to call it easy with little adoption outside the bubble.

THIS. This is very real. It's the "Curse of knowledge" (I had forgotten the name, but just looked it up in a list of cognitive biases). I run into it all the time. Basically "better-informed people find it extremely difficult to think about problems from the perspective of lesser-informed people."
It can be easily (but temporarily) cured, by trying to get real people, in person to try to understand something that you think is simple.

you do not need everyone to join the bandwagon to make an effect on the world. Bitcoin is proof of that concept.

Freedom as to be normalized or freedom itself will be seen as suspicious.
An irate, tireless minority is what users on Truth Social think of themselves, whereas I only see an echo chamber.
But I very much appreciate the optimism and I plan to join.

They can print all they want. But it's the other countries that will suffer as US is reserve status. Japan apparently are eating it. The yen is 150+ against the USD.
I think it's just a matter of time of other countries joining the bitcoin movement. It's a little sad seeing El Salvador dancing alone.
