One major downside to #Nostr is that it is way too Bitcoiner heavy. It turns the average user away. It’s all people seem to talk about on here. #Bluesky is full of people who say they tried Nostr but didn’t like it because it was too crypto oriented. Irrational that may be, but it is a factor in its inability to build communities beyond crypto. Nostr is bigger than Bitcoin. It needs to be more welcoming and it will remain in niche.

Following hashtags unrelated to bitcoin helps! #grownostr. Also it will take time! Thanks for your thoughts 💜
just hand around and tell them, #YouAreNotABitcoin
Well those using nostr are here for the pure freedom aspect despite the early days.
So it’s going to be a heavy concentration of people put liberty above all else. E.g. libertarians and bitcoiners.
But as online censorship of certain groups gets worse and worse. Nostr will remain the place for free and open discussion attracting more and more groups of people with different interests in time.
One of the greatest innovations of nostr is #Zaps. Being able to send BTC p2p at the speed of light to relay provider and devs is how nostr gets built.
Simply not possible using fiat method of payments. Being able to zap content creators without any middle men taking a cut in fees is an innovation in of itself.
