The difference is that if you were to zap me from your Strike account, you could spend your bad money and I could receive good money. Strike is just the best example I know of as a real world example of it working. Not saying it’s the silver bullet to the problem. But a service like that lessens the friction of needing Bitcoin adoption before Nostr can adequately monetize content.

I think even the ability to convert fiat to sats (especially something as easy as strike) would hamper the economic calculation. I would proffer that it will require a full Bitcoin standard, with fiat gone, to truly get there.
Well, there is this thing… In Turkey, we don’t have Strike. Bc of our shitty government, we don’t even have f’n PayPal. If it wasn’t for Btc adoption, you wouldn’t receive any value from me, and I wouldn’t receive from anyone in here.
I see your points but rellying on other than Btc would make things complicated for people like me.
