We get the concept and power of decentralization. To normies it’s just a cute idea or a non issue

I imagine it is due to the lightning network. The developer mentioned in an interview he hoped more than just bitconers joined though.

If you've held Bitcoin for a long time. It's definitely nice to get a chance to "use" bitcoin and permisionlessly send sats to random people all over the world.

If you are building a decentralized social media/market place for content, you need a native digital money that can support digital commerce. It makes logical sense that bitcoiners would be first because it could not exist without people using the money and built-in incentives in the first place.
