Explained The Nostr to a friend today at lunch,
Successfully communicated the purpose of an open protocol and how it differentiates from platforms like Meta. ✅
Explained value of zapping v likes. ✅
She got lost at why so far we’ve utilized Bitcoin integration v CashApp or Venmo integration. I get that though. ⛔️
damn, if only we knew a guy that’s behind CashApp that we could contact..
anybody know the name? think it was john.. 🤔
Think cash app was John was a guy named Bob?
Yeah, and I think he was a builder
or ‘the’ builder, as we liked to call him
Does John Cashapp support lightning?
cashzap 🤔
Maybe nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m can ask John Cashzap when cashzapps?
Johnny cashzap and the badgers
Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. 🎶
(^ Ever heard that tune? It’s a repetitive jingle that never ends ♾️🙃)
nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m I think they are talking to you
I wish I could have been a fly on the wall for that conversation.
If she understands nostr you can just say: now add consensus about state
At that point it should be obvious you've created a censorship-resistant money 😆
perhaps they would’ve been more receptive had you not used the term “#bitcoin”
too many get tripped up on preconceptions
She’s an underwriter by trade so knows of Bitcoin 💜
exactly - like nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s alludes to in his appearance on WBD, many people’s first interactions with #bitcoin may be totally by accident through “#zaps”
sometimes only through utilizing a tool such as #nostr will people fully “get it”
CashApp and venmo don't even exist outside US.
Zaps may be killing Nostr.
We don't have those where I live, but doesn't cashapp do bitcoin lightning?
