Agree - from design standpoint there are only few similarities - eg public private key generation on local machine .. kinda inspiration ..
but I was alliding to #zaps ..
there is really no chance that eight billion people will have a bitcoin wallet ..but there is a good chance that everyone is (somehow) connected to nostr and thus has access to #zaps .. in a way , #nostr is the ship that carries the bitcoin to normies .. maybe 🤔
Nostr key pairs are not wallets, and not every client comes with a wallet, it's a feature in Primal. You have to get a LN address somehow, then add it to your metadata.
Can't I use my #bitcoin npub and nsec for #nostr ?
Yes, they use the same algorithm, which is secp256k1

https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/01.md#events-and-signatures
So you see my point .. #nostr is an inspiration from #bitcoin .. may be we should ask Fiatjaf :-) ..
But again my point was that of reach .. #bitcoin reach is only to people who value and understand monetary assets .. social media reaches pretty much everyone :-)
