i had a few people DM me telling me they had never used bitcoin, all they did was just buy and hodl. however thanks to nostrplebs.com, they needed to now use it to buy something they wanted. it was pretty damn cool to see them say that.

It sure is! Nostr is lightning-pilling bitcoiners and orange-pilling no-coiners.
i messed with lightning before, but only occasionally and just to experiment
now i use it every day multiple times a day
I think buying NIP-05 on nostrplebs was exactly my first ever LN transaction
