Interesting take 🤔
Music and #demu are the killer feature of Nostr. Musicians make music because they love it and they love the connection it gives them with people. Meanwhile money is a necessity to eat and live life.
Nostr gives musicians a direct connection to people and provides flow for monetary funds that allow them to continue doing what they love.

If you don’t think music can lead the way, look no further than smartphones. 📱 The iPhone’s ancestral history is not the Palm Pilot, Newton, or even the cell phone. The iPod is what got hundreds of millions of people carrying a smart device in their pocket like nothing else could. This became the base for the iPhone. I was there when it happened.
Music gave birth to smartphones and it will do the same for freedom internet. 🤘
Discussion
Freedom is the only killer feature in nostr. There is no reason to support nostr without it.
Freedom is Nostr. It’s not really a feature, it is the core of protocol.
Freedom and music are connected at the hip. People want freedom but they generally don’t go out of their way to actively search for it. People do search for great music. Freedom music is the feature that can bring the masses to Nostr.

Feature request upgraded to meme form
i'm noticing also that the poets are very keen on this protocol
i think this is gonna be a big part of what pulls things forwards, because poets pull audiences
