I also mention that it's like the Internet was in the 90s, so it's like the wild wild West and you can see some things if you aren't careful. It's a blessing and a curse to have no censorship, and it's our responsibility to put in the work to see quality because freedom isn't free. (Some warning is needed because there's a lot of hateful content or dick spins if you aren't careful where you look 🤣) I don't speak too much on Bitcoin, but I do compare the zaps to getting tips while busking. There are a lot of buskers here and it's something myself and a lot of others did when we were young. I really like being able to promote good content by sending a zap. Especially as everyone can understand how difficult it is now to become a social media influencer, yet it is what all the young people want to do. Nostr seems to me like something that will democratize that.

Most people I know don't care about Twitter, Dorsey, Musk, etc. The Ford F150 isn't the most common pickup truck because someone famous liked it. People perk up when they hear benefits. Some aspects of Nostr that I've seen people get excited about are: o- Confirmable identity - imposters don't really exist here o- You have an identity, like an email address, but if you don't like your "provider", you keep your address when moving to a new provider. Your profile follows you instead of staying with a platform/company. o- No algos (for most clients), you get to see the content you sign up for. New users describe how refreshing it is, compared to being fed what a corporation wants you to see, and how it's like how the Internet used to be: organic.
