Nostr Web Client

Nostr is the final destination for your content.

Owned by you, viewable in many apps, monetizable, & censorship resistant.

This will become more obvious over time

Except it's very hard for your average person to get a hold of spendable bitcoin. For most normies it's de-facto impossible. Even Strike has just removed all debit card top-ups. You're asking creators to monetise based on a currency their followers don't have and cannot get. Makes little sense.

I don't know why this point is constantly glossed over.

It's possible to care about nostr more than about bitcoin, and if that's you then stablecoin zaps are going be a lot more useful for creators looking to monetise.

Yup :110percent:

Not only zaps, actual :product: Products too.

I can't sell my #farmstr mushroom kits in Bitcoin over here.

I can totally sell them via Nostr product events tho :Check:

(with a Stripe API "proof" for the fiat payments)

Giving me the advantage of being able to work with the exact same product events on my website, in my local community chat and in my own stock-database.

Yerp. Many people here do not (or cannot) put themselves in the mindset of someone who is not a developer and who does not have any bitcoin and isn't sure how you even get bitcoin in the first place.

To the point where people are genuinely suggesting robosats to normies. It's like robobsats, do you hear yourself?

Lol yes 😹. No surprise, given the number of projects that try to imagine and build:

- a business

- that doesn't target :Bitcoin:abylon-coiners

The purple pill makes the orange pill ~go down~ omnipresent.

And people just cringe and run away.

So in the meantime stablecoin zaps. No brainer. The average person has a far better chance of getting a hold of (and mentally processing) USDT and other stablecoins than they do bitcoin. Like 100x. It's a better way for nostr to grow for creators over these next few years.

The best choice for nostr isn't always the most bitcoin-maximalist choice.
