I wasn’t trying to speak from a “normal” persons perspective. I was speaking from my own.
I can get normal if you want me to. It’s too many steps here. Very few actually care about freedom and normal people don’t care about seeing posts about bitcoin…. All of that could change of course.

I wouldn't dream of asking a non-techie to use nostr, even if they were into bitcoin. Most likely, a normie bitcoiner is afraid of hodling off-exchange. The keys thing is too much to ask of normies, they can't even remember the name of their cat for their password. Asking them to keep track of an unrecoverable key is like trying to make your dog wear shoes. A very predictable outcome. This isn't a problem that will be resolved anytime soon so far as I know. For a techie bitcoiner, on the other hand, it's a more reasonable ask to store a key. This might be the real reason nostr has a lot of bitcoiners; key-handling skill is a filter.
It isn’t an effortless process. It’s definitely a new concept for those who aren’t used to it. I wouldn’t say that it’s any harder than figuring out health insurance or taxes. I wasn’t a techie when I joined and I wasn’t really into bitcoin. I understood bitcoin after I came to nostr. I understand bitcoin because of nostr. I think that normies could get it.
