They’re just for fun mostly right now but the reason they’re very different from most social media payment networks is they’re p2p lightning payments so they’re uncensorable. Native internet money payments, no accounts, no identification, no restrictions.

Extremely scalable too. If you download Wallet of Satoshi on your phone it will set you up with a lightning wallet. If you create an invoice for 10,000 satoshi and post the invoice here nostr knows to convert the string of characters into a nice looking invoice and I’ll send you some bitcoin! Only if you feel like it, no pressure!
Ah you’re already a bitcoiner but the offer still stands friend!
