I feel like I have failed to explain to my wife just how incredible Nostr + lightning are.

Last night I demonstrated zapping to her, and she asked "how is that better than PayPal?"

After I'd picked myself up from the floor, I tried to explain and she said part of the reason she turns off when I start speaking is how aggressively I defend N+LN+BTC.

So, I clearly need to change my approach, and to think more carefully about how to talk to normies. Some initial thoughts below; what have I missed, Nostriches?

- Instantaneous, free final settlement. There's no rent seeker in the way, and my transfer can't be frozen or stopped. I can make micropayments of less than a penny, to someone on the other side of the world

- Essentially it's a cash transfer from peer to peer, without an authority in the way who can charge me or interfere

- I can pay total strangers, at will, without any KYC and without even finding out their names or locations

- The asset itself is absolutely scarce, travels at the speed of light, and can't be confiscated

I can't have my account suspended, or my access to the system withdrawn or limited.
