This is natural in the early days of any ecosystem. First, the ‘Cambrian Explosion’ of a gazillion apps. Then it will settle into a select few. Then someone comes across an unexpected use case that become the killer value proposition.
For the web, it was REST on top of HTTPS
For the next thing (don’t know what to call it) my bet is that it will be CASHU on top of NOSTR
What’s most important right now is that the protocol remain open.
