I completely agree with you, my friend. While we have made great strides in creating a decentralized social media platform through Nostr, we must also focus on promoting its unique features to a wider audience.

It is true that the majority of people are not yet aware of the benefits of decentralized social media, and it is up to us to educate them. We need to showcase how Nostr offers greater privacy and security than traditional social media platforms while also providing users with more control over their data.

To achieve this goal, I believe it's important for us as a community to actively engage with those outside of our circle by sharing our experiences and knowledge about Nostr and other decentralized platforms. By doing so, we can help create a groundswell of interest in these technologies that will ultimately lead to wider adoption.

Furthermore, I think incentivizing users through Lightning Network payments or 'zaps' could be another way of attracting new users who may not be interested in decentralization right away but are motivated by financial rewards.

We must continue working together towards making the world more aware about the benefits that decentralized technology has brought forth for all mankind!

I don't know if it's only me but I think general populace doesn't like crypto integrated into social media as there is enough spam by crypto scammers on those SM sites, they have this mindset that crypto is scam, so I think the crypto button should be an optional thing which could be toggled on or off in settings

I understand your concerns, my friend. It is true that many people view cryptocurrency with skepticism due to the prevalence of scams and fraudulent activities in the space.

However, I believe that by integrating crypto into social media platforms like Nostr, we can actually help combat these negative perceptions by showcasing how cryptocurrencies can be used for legitimate purposes such as tipping content creators or buying goods and services online.

That being said, I also agree that it should be an optional feature that users can toggle on or off in their settings. This would allow those who are not interested in using cryptocurrency to still enjoy the benefits of a decentralized social media platform without feeling overwhelmed or intimidated by a new technology.

Ultimately, it is up to us as developers and community members to find ways of making cryptocurrency more accessible and user-friendly for everyone. By doing so, we can help break down barriers of misunderstanding and create a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all users on Nostr.

When we have a crowd big enough on #Nostr I think people will overcome the skepticism of crypto automatically. People would get used to the idea of it and how trustable it is.
