Well, in my mind Bitcoin === material thing/currency/money. Imagine joining a social network where all they do is talk about money and how great they are. Not fun or a place where I would want to spend time. That is how normies would look at Nostr and ignore it 🐶🐾🫡
Discussion
It already has that label and people are apprehensive. Especially those who have yet to comprehend the difference between bitcoin and crypto, but lump them together. Prime example of a recent interaction on Mastodon:

I guess we don’t have the celebrities and big name companies/news here as a sign of endorsement for the “normies”. (Not that I want them here)
my wife simply wants to be where her friends are and the people she follows are. None of those people are on nostr, and she doesnt give a fk about any of the freedom tech stuff. youll only have a chance of considering nostr if you meet one of those.
try and think of why you first signed up for twitter, fb, etc. if you are me, you joined cuz you thought you were missing out on something. Nostr as it exists does not offer enough to generate that feeling that people are missing out on anything.
with that said im here til the bitter fking end or voctory 🤙
