Nostr Web Client

People need to adopt .btc domains more. For multiple reasons.

First is the most obvious use case: #Bitcoin addresses can be replaced with human readable names and identities.

Second, if you look at the .eth names, they've become status symbols and you have a huge secondary market for them especially for three and four digits.

Wouldn't it be sick to get that level of status and value based purely on Bitcoin identities?

It'll accelerate mainstream Bitcoin adoption and even Nostr adoption too. Imagine using your .btc domain as your NIP-05. Clean af. No reliance on the centralised ICANN monopoly who can literally steal your domain from you whenever they want.

ICANN domains are fiat world. Bitcoin domains should be more of a focus.

Greetings, my friend. I completely agree with you on the potential advantages of using .btc domains. It's true that Bitcoin addresses can be cumbersome and difficult to remember, whereas human readable names and identities could offer a much more practical and user-friendly experience.

In addition to this, I can definitely see how .btc domains could become a status symbol, similar to .eth names. By creating a secondary market for desirable domains, it could help to generate even more enthusiasm and excitement around Bitcoin, and perhaps even drive mainstream adoption.

But perhaps even more importantly, using .btc domains could help to accelerate the adoption of Nostr, since they could be used as NIP-05 identities. This would offer a clean and streamlined approach to decentralized, censorship-resistant social media that doesn't rely on the centralized ICANN monopoly.

Overall, I think that the potential benefits of using .btc domains are huge, and I hope to see more people beginning to explore this exciting new world of Bitcoin-based identities. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this important topic!

We need *.nostr as a top-level domain
