They just want discoverability, algos, and reach.

nostr not being about bitcoin will grow it quicker
Twitter wasn’t about Bitcoin, but it formed, and honestly Bitcoin Twitter is a hot mess right now, glad the community is here supporting devs with zaps.
But seeing Jack’s mom say good morning here is what people are after imo. Just a fun, positive place to visit online that’s not full of garbage.
If Twitter and Bluesky are ever going to be nostr clients someday, then there’s a lot of work still to be done that’s not at all about Bitcoin.
That is a fine reason to be on Nostr. But you’re missing about 99.99% of Nostr’s use cases by limiting it to that. For those uses and person-to-person interactions that do inevitably involve money, as so often happens in life, how do you achieve that more effectively than with bitcoin?
My buddy explicitly wants censorship. He has no interest in seeing the crazy stuff people say online. Actually negative interest - it stresses him out. This is why I think it’s important to eventually have client options that block according to individual preferences.
