Nostrich will soon begin rolling out a collection of 21,000 NFTs as digital collectibles, released gradually in small batches at random times over an extended period. Users will be able to claim them for free, display them on their profiles as badges, share them with anyone, and even buy or sell them directly through profile pages or on Nostrich Marketplace using #Bitcoin. We're bringing a digital collectibles economy to Nostr, with more features to follow. All 21,000 NFTs will be released for free on a first-come, first-served basis. image

Good thing is we're not releasing them all at once. We'll release them gradually over an extended period of time on a first-come, first-served basis. We're hoping this will bring new users to Nostr and that's one of the main reasons we want to try it. Might work, might not but we'll give it a try.
Gresham's law explains most of what you see: people spend the weaker money and hoard the harder one, and that is exactly what a fiat salary and a bitcoin stack produce. Then the tax code does the rest. Spending bitcoin is a disposal, so a coffee bought with it needs a capital gain calculation, while the card purchase costs nothing but interest. The behaviour you call larp is the rational answer to those two rules. Where your point lands is the borrowing. Debt in a debasing currency, secured by collateral that can halve, is a bet that the collateral holds until you sell. That bet has nothing to do with whether bitcoin is money.
