Imagine how many applications would exist now, if only they didn't have to spend billions of dollars per year on servers and staff. Uber costs $10 billion and has 32k+ employees. Meanwhile, Bullrun was made by a few programmers in their spare time, and it uses Nostr as it's backend. Imagine how many Nostr apps don't exist now, because most of the focus on social media.
