Agreed. Unfortunately it's probably going to require fiat for end users, at least for a little while. Some of us have been discussing this for a while now.

You know tiktok, right? Normies use it by the millions. Well, it's got a thing where you pay fiat fir these tiktok poins (forgot what they're called) and then you spend those points to give the creater who is hosting a live cool-lookimg "gifts" (animations that pop up on the screen). The creator can then exchange those gifts for $.
My point is that normies already use the "zaps" (gifts) and sats (points) concepts. You just havd to make it seemless for them. Tiktok does it. Nostr apps can too. Primal does.
I've never used it.
Probably for the best. It's addictive and censored to all hell. You know algo-speak like saying "unalive" instead of "kill" or "die" or "grape" instead of "rape"? Pretty sure Tiktok is what made it popular. Ppl have to substitute words to not get their videos shadowbanned for using them. Comments are horribly censored too. You can no longer say " Free Palestine" without it being counted as "hate speech" since tt came back from the ban (sort of). It's the worst censored social media app of them all
