good thing someone invented bitcoin a while back

and then people worked on lightning to make it good enough for now

because without those foundations nostr wouldn't have a chance

I’d argue that it would have a solid chance, but much slower adoption.

Fortunately, we get the best case.

I argue this, idea of decentralised social platform like nostr got originated from the success of bitcoin 🤙

#[4]​ can confirm rest 🫂

Nostr is just one use case many many many more are coming.

agreed, and getting the sequencing right is a somewhat haphazard random walk process, but can be an important one which instigates/bootstraps/enables the rest

The big bootstrap are LSPs and SDK but I am also bias. #Breez

an important foundation 🤙

Dunno..

Elon screwing up Twitter, the flux of builders on Nostr who care about community... I think there's alot more here than simply Bitcoin and Lightning.

Agree. I think zaps will be the only reason nostr survives

Feeling nostr outlives zaps…

We’ll see. Personally I think zaps are the entire reasons this thing will keep going. People at broader levels don’t give a damn about decentralization, privacy, or any of the things we care about.
