It was really cool to see the Nostr community come to life in NYC. There are dozens of us!
Undeniably cool

I don't think Nostr will win until it's hyperconvenient to use.

Would be huge!
And zaps are gone again... sigh

Realizing the problem is the first step to solving it. While there's no immediate actionable step, I think it lies somewhere in using Bitcoin and building local communities in order to opt out of fiat politics. Being open minded about how power being misused is indicative of being open minded towards solutions, and possibly even searching for how one can be a part of them. This is 100x times better than believing the legacy media headlines one reads, which is still a huge problem and far closer to the opiate of the masses than not believing them is.

I've seen a few prominent figures do it. I think it's less about getting them to say yes, and more about getting the clarity that they reserve the right to misrepresent you if they say no.
We had a great time at the How to Mine Bitcoin Workshop, thank you

Amazing!!
To compete with existing event platforms, most important will be capturing user's email (making it required to RSVP) for event organizer's to use to email blast them later.
DM's are neutral in terms of value added IMO, but if/when a Nostr messaging service becomes dominant could be very helpful.
One of the cool things about Bitcoin is that wealthier countries tend to be overregulated, giving less developed countries a chance to get ahead in adoption. That said, the big picture goal is to increase privacy as much as possible to make regulation less and less feasible across the board.
