Semantics but it sure felt like you were saying my point was not an actual issue 😅 But I enjoy this topic of discussion 😂🫂 My point is that there are relatively few people who even have sats, and even fewer actually willing to spend sats. A fiat-to-Bitcoin payment service like Strike can help with this, but then you have to onboard them to Strike which is another hurdle 🤣

Ultimately, Nostr’s problem when it comes to artists monetizing their work is not at all a problem of its technical ability. Nostr is perfectly suited for this job. Rather it’s a twofold problem:

1) A culture among bitcoiners that demands saving Bitcoin and spending fiat, and even shames spending Bitcoin. Bitcoiners can fix this by leading by example and changing the culture.

2) Relatively low overall mainstream adoption of Bitcoin as a payment system. Easier fiat-to-bitcoin on ramps for non-bitcoiners will help solve this, and hopefully eventually there will be enough internal movement of sats as payments that it will become less needed over time.
