I believe we need to be spreading the message of Nostr on the other platforms until we have significant adoption. I don't think many who need to self promote can be a Nostr maxi quite yet.

I was always here for the tech, right from the start. But lately I started thinking, maybe there’s more to it? But yeah, not yet. That’s all I wanted to say.
Adoption isn’t going to look like what people think. Most people who use Nostr probably have a different idea of what it even is. A social network? A messaging protocol? Self-custodial identity? A value exchange system?
Everything else is owned by a company that can raise insane amounts of money to build and market their centralized products. Of course you won’t have an easy time articulating this to the world. They’re not ready for it yet.
It's impossible to explain and I don't even think most of us on here truly understand the innovation that is the most protocol. We are just so early 🙌🏽
No, it’s a very small minority who get it. Everyone else takes one look around, gets confused, and goes back to the engagement farm where they can be herded. 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
I'm still being herded so I have empathy for them 😂
But we understand one thing at least. That we can pay for a thing we see in a note directly. And that happens less and less. Let's be real, most Bitcoiners here are just hodlers. The don't give a f about the moral aspects of actively building or participating in a circular economy. They rather use their fiat money to spend. and they’re losing their minds over an offer that gives them fiat loans (with interest) using their stack as collateral.
That doesn’t describe me.
