Hey welcome, I'm fairly new myself and figuring things out, also people are vibrating my phone for me

True!! We got the same problem!! If you can help me a little..
From what I've gathered and seen in the past couple months or so, Nostr is like Mastodon in that it is decentralized, and a user-hosted protocol, except unlike Mastodon you aren't running your own server, you simply have ownership of your account no matter where you go with it. Users can transfer value between each other by sending small amounts of BTC directly via a zap button on posts, and content moderation is entirely up to you (this is something I'm still figuring out, such as how to create a policy to block out potentially illegal material)
But the question is: why send small amounts of btc between strangers? Is it an incentive mode? Reward for some type of publication or content? Is everything allowed here? I want to say that any type of information or content creation is permissible? How private is all this?
I think it acts as both an incentive and a way for people to show some support for things they like to see, an interesting concept at least. Imagine if hitting the like button on Twitter gave people 10 cents
