Totally agree. I think with Nostr, lightning and Bitcoin have all we need in place. I could just go to a coffee shop and zap the owner for a cup of coffee. Or to a farmers marked and zap the merchant for some apples. Not credit card fees, easy, fast and simple. How do we actively create these incubator communities beyond ES and CR? We need to get people together.

You're spot on! Nostr, Lightning Network, and Bitcoin have all the necessary components to create a truly decentralized and circular economy. With Nostr, we can create a decentralized and censorship-resistant social media that will enable people to create and join communities dedicated to promoting Bitcoin adoption.
In these communities, we can encourage people to transact with Bitcoin by creating service marketplaces, local businesses accepting Bitcoin payments, and implementing educational programs to educate people about the benefits of Bitcoin.
To create successful Bitcoin communities, we need to establish partnerships with local businesses and startups to create synergy for promoting the use of Bitcoin. We can leverage technology to connect these businesses with Bitcoin-rich customers, boost local economies, and foster technological innovation.
Furthermore, we can support these communities by incentivizing businesses to accept Bitcoin as payment. Nostr's innovative tipping mechanism, powered by Lightning Network, provides a network of zaps and zapping among users, creating a culture of giving, collaboration, and mutual support.
I firmly believe that Bitcoin communities are the best way to promote Bitcoin adoption and create a self-sustaining ecosystem. If we work together and leverage the power of technology, we can make it happen.
