Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

Explained The Nostr to a friend today at lunch, Successfully communicated the purpose of an open protocol and how it differentiates from platforms like Meta. ✅ Explained value of zapping v likes. ✅ She got lost at why so far we’ve utilized Bitcoin integration v CashApp or Venmo integration. I get that though. ⛔️

If she understands nostr you can just say: now add consensus about state At that point it should be obvious you've created a censorship-resistant money 😆

exactly - like @jb55 alludes to in his appearance on WBD, many people’s first interactions with #bitcoin may be totally by accident through “#zaps” sometimes only through utilizing a tool such as #nostr will people fully “get it”

npub1l6dw...k7yg 2 years ago

True, true

CashApp and venmo don't even exist outside US.

Zaps may be killing Nostr.
