Out of the top of my head, I think there are two types of social network users that help a network grow:

1. The ones that look for content. Either out of interest or out of boredom.

2. Attention seekers that need for first kind of users either for their personality or out of economic interest.

Once a critical mass of those two groups is reached, the network will thrive.

Nostr IS a bitcoiner thing. I don’t think onboarding is that hard though. Creating a profile in a #nostr client is easier than creating a user/password pair on any other platform. All you need to save is one string and that’s it basically.

The incentive comes from the content. #nostr is 99% about #bitcoin and how to #grownostr. That’s not a bad thing, not it’s not something that will attract users outside of the bitcoin community.

I wouldn’t call them normies though and that implies bitcoin users are not normal 😁

Disruptive or not, #bitcoin needs to be widely adopted to be useful. And it needs to be useful to be widely adopted.

Like it or not, the world runs on dollars. Businesses run on dollars and it’s a pain in the ass adopting bitcoin for business transactions. And I’m not taking about technical difficulties. Not even network fees which are actually quite decent most of the time. But the simple need to introduce an unregulated, highly volatile asset in one balance sheet is not for everybody. Add the additional accounting effort needed and tax uncertainty, as governments are not sure about how to tax bitcoin transactions and can change the rules anytime.

Even so, I am open to offer payments in #bitcoin in my business, but there is zero demand for it. Can you guess what the only demand in crypto payments is? The answer is #USDC and #USDT. Why let #ethereum steal the show, if #bitcoin can do it better and cheaper on #lightning?

Why?

Didn’t know they were, but I think it’s a great idea. Both to have stablecoins available outside of ERC-20 or BRC-20, on a fast and cheap network, and to add to lightning use cases.

Stablecoins on bitcoin without clogging the blockchain, what’s there not to like? I think it would boost #bitcoin adoption.

Seems like 99% of #nostr users are either bitcoin devs or #bitcoin enthusiasts. It’s hard to find anything not bitcoin related here. On the other hand, it’s a great place to find about the latest developments in bitcoin and security in general.

I hope #elonmusk will keep fucking up #twitter and the user base here will grow outside of the bitcoin community soon. #grownostr

Good morning #nostr #coffeechain - todays #latteart

And an edit and delete option…

I wish #damus would have some kind of hashtag auto completion. At least it could offer tags from the current conversation and maybe a list of last used tags. nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s

Seems like #bitwarden also released a stand alone #opensource #2fa #authenticatorapp
