#bitcoin is like you found 21 million kilos of #gold on an star named #satoshi
The question is how do you ship it to 8 billion people ..
Is #nostr that ship ?

it's 21 million of kilos, but you can break it down to like 10 micro grams and distribute it. And if it's paper gold (lightning) even to 10 nano grams. I think that level of granularity suffices 😊
We have it broken into 2100 Trillion #sats .. but still we need people to be willing ..
And what do you mean by paper gold ? Lightning #sats are real sats ..aren't they ?
Yes, but you found it with a telescope and anyone with a rocket could go get some, and rockets are cheap.
Except that in this case the rocket is awareness - knowledge ☺️ .. people need a little bit of spark to set the rocket (of education) in motion
> Is nostr that ship ?
No, nostr have nothing todo with Bitcoin, it just a protocol explain to relays and clients how they should to communicate with each other.
Relays and clients, clients doesn't communicate with each other and the relays doesn't communicate with each other
Agree - from design standpoint there are only few similarities - eg public private key generation on local machine .. kinda inspiration ..
but I was alliding to #zaps ..
there is really no chance that eight billion people will have a bitcoin wallet ..but there is a good chance that everyone is (somehow) connected to nostr and thus has access to #zaps .. in a way , #nostr is the ship that carries the bitcoin to normies .. maybe 🤔
Nostr key pairs are not wallets, and not every client comes with a wallet, it's a feature in Primal. You have to get a LN address somehow, then add it to your metadata.
Can't I use my #bitcoin npub and nsec for #nostr ?
Yes, they use the same algorithm, which is secp256k1

So you see my point .. #nostr is an inspiration from #bitcoin .. may be we should ask Fiatjaf :-) ..
But again my point was that of reach .. #bitcoin reach is only to people who value and understand monetary assets .. social media reaches pretty much everyone :-)
