there's a seemingly growing number of people who also think this (or maybe I've just grown my echo chamber on here lol). Would be sad if nostr was just a bitcoin telegram group with bells and whistles.

But I am also a little hopeful, The ability to make subreddit-like groups and clients that cater to this is growing and hopefully will continue and improve. There is already one such group which has migrated here and the hopefully more follow. This allows bit of detachment from the 'stack sats and stay humble' spam, which nostr can often feel like. (Your feed / follow curation here is somewhat needed if you want it to be other than bitcoin twitter / bitcoin slogans. And clients don't really help a new user such as this with their recommended follows tbh.)

I also see some hope in awareness of nostr (struggling not to say 'brand recognition' lol), I can see people, content creators especially, listing nostr as a safety follow. A 'just in case my main social platform gets nuked' -type deal, in a similar way to youtubers recommending Rumble / Rokfin / bitchute. Perhaps a bit of marketing is needed here.
