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.
