Nostr Web Client

I see a lot of Twitter coin bashing. I’m of the same opinion (obviously).

But what we cannot disregard and perhaps should even possibly consider - is the ability to off-ramp into fiat.

I don’t like it. I prefer we have a circular economy. But, if we are to get the masses onboard, the UX matters a lot. Having the ability to earn shitcoins and off-ramp into fiat is a UX advantage.

Sure, we have off-ramps too for those weird enough to use them, but it’s all high friction compared to built-in functionality.

I think if we are to expect zaps to take over the world, then we’ll have to accommodate the world with in-client on and off ramps - at least for the time being. This is likely key to mass adoption of zaps without even knowing what’s under the hood.

Don’t kill the messenger 🙏

Also, good morning! ☀️ 🤙

Twitter Coin is mostly there to pollute the message and close the delta in a juxtaposition between Twitter and a monetised social tech like nostr.

Honestly we can just ignore Twitter Coin, it’s monopoly tokens.

Don’t take the bait.

I think the apps that do well are going to be those that interface with the legacy world while providing on-ramps and off-ramps to and from fiat.

Oh I agree with this 100%, but it has little or nothing to do with Twitter Coin.

Twitter Coin is a red herring, that’s my point.

I think we should lower barriers to all FX and try and offer liquidity needed for seamless flows.

Don’t ignore it, revel in it.

People will make more in zaps than they will with Twittercoin - we’ll have a direct financial comparison now and it will be hard to ignore A/B tests where Nostr consistently wins despite being much smaller.
