💯 Nostr users are SO FAR ahead of other bitcoiners in terms of lightning usage and normalization.

We're basically the only real bitcoiners. Us and ancaps who hold bitcoin and don't trust but verify, generally.

Yeah BuT - Lightning doesn't work

Nostr is how I discovered lightning, and in the same moment I realized Bitcoin is an excellent candidate for the apex money, and I started actually researching it deeply and stopped falling for any of the propaganda against it on Coinbase. I had always been open to the possibility it was something major, but I didn't see it until I had good reason to focus on it, and I didn't own any bitcoin. Zaps opened my eyes.
