A few links that demonstrate the potential the Nostr protocol has beyond this initial social media use case. Also a reminder that while Dorsey is arguably the most prominent Nostr user at the moment (Snowden has been inactive lately) the protocol was created by @nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6.

Zaps (the movement of money in the value4value model):
Chess:
File sharing and pasting:
Long form content (like Substack):
Virtual hangout rooms (like Twitter Spaces/Clubhouse)
These are just some of the usecases that came to mind. There are more I'm forgetting and many more I'm not even aware of. The rate of development remarkable.
Oter resources to get a more holistic idea (although still probably not exhaustive):
Apps like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, OnlyFans, etc. won't survive unless they leverage Nostr as their backend. The network effects, integration with lightning, and uncensorability of this protocol can't be ignored.
