I think the path of recruiting, informing or purple pilling influencers in each path is smart.
They have their own audiences they can bring with them.

Love “purple pilling” 😍
We don’t need influencers, I don't think we are ready yet to channel all the mass of users they would bring. I think it's better to take it step by step, without haste and building, they will come 🙂
People are the lifeblood of social networks (even though nostr is not limited to that). You need new blood for growth. Recruiting influencers is a known and proven method to bring new people to a platform. There’s nothing wrong with actively letting people know about nostr. I don’t think things would just stop working. We did ok with the China wave and that was pretty big. An influencer here and there shouldn’t break the experience.
Well, I also refer to the dynamics that they can bring, I mean. A standard influencer will seek to convert us into what they are used to seeing (ego, dopamine, envy, etc). Obviously I am generalizing, yesterday there was a small gap between all of us (in my point of view), I think we are just now off guard, I would wait to have more consensus on what nostr means 🙂
Not sure what you mean by this.
Imagine the typical tiktok celebrity in the middle of all of us, don't you see it out of place yet? I mean, the base needs to be broadened more (by the base) so that these people can land, they will come with some inherited vices, if they come now they can corrupt what we have built.
Nah that’s precisely what we need. All we have is bitcoin conversations - people regurgitating the same boring bitcoin lines. It’s predictable, sad and cultish.
We need people who know nothing of bitcoin or could care less about zaps.
I say bring them all!
💯
They are points of view, nice conversation 🙂
i agree we need influencers, imagine joe rogan or maybe mkbhd start posting here all of his listeners/viewers would be at least be interested what is this nostr thing
My question concerning Joe Rohan would why would he promote this? I’m not going to say he’s only interested in monetizing but what would be his benefit to promoting this? How can we make this appealing to large brands like his?
he could be promoting his podcast/products to possible new listeners on nostr, probably make something from zaps
Agree 💯

also, influencers represent a broad category from leaders in their fields to anything anyone follows for any reason - a cook show host, a writer, a humanitarian, an activist, a toy tester, gamers, fashion influencers, politicians - the field is wide open
