Pretty damn sure Nostr has the potential to be the future of social media + blogging.
The combination of paid relays, Zaps with Lightning, and future Lightning privacy improvements are going to make it an incredible combination.
Bullish on Nostr.
Discussion
Biggest drawbacks right now are around Lightning receive privacy and the difficulty of non-custodial Lightning Addresses, but the traction of Nostr will put serious positive pressure on the improvement of both, I hope!
Another big issue facing Nostr is the plague of custodial LN wallets being the first to support LN addresses, leading to the vast majority of Nostr users that I've seen so far using custodial wallets to receive Zaps.
Need more focus and education on non-custodial LN!
Excited for @BtcpayServer to add support alongside @ZeusLN, as the pairing of BTCPay and Zeus is immensely powerful for self-sovereignt Bitcoin and Lightning usage.
