Nostr Web Client

What makes explaining #bitcoin and #nostr so hard is the fact that they exist outside the worldview most people live their lives within. Asking someone to adopt them is like asking someone to stand where there's no ground or breathe where there's no air. Fiat has warped how people see everything and people take the new view as normal. Nothing lines up with that reality when you explain the problems Bitcoin and Nostr solve, so you're automatically dismissed. Telling someone their worldview is corrupted makes people fearful and closes them off to reason.

I don't know a better way to explain Bitcoin than by letting people feel enough pain from fiat to start questioning why things are so messed up at a fundamental level, and then introducing them to Bitcoin. Otherwise, there's no motivation to learn.

Lets be clear guys, 90% of us nostr and bitcoin users are fellows that work with tech / tech enthusiast. I think we need to focus on reduce the gap between us and them, the common users.

Yes, it's awesome that nostr is a protocol, decentralization is freedom, and bitcoin is running on top of a blockchain but what it really means for the average users?

We need to decrease entry barrier. Common people don't need to know how these things work, neither what is the name of technology used backdoors.

Only adoption will make things really change for good.

And I think we need to bring big spotlight to us. (BTC is already doing it, but it took too long to do so, we know this, and we are far from optimal adoption for a global currency that it deserves to be).

Maybe we need to play "the sales guy man" game.

We do have a Black Friday day over the world right? Why don't we just join forces and make a "Purple WEEK". Discounts for all product using BTC / Nostr interfaces. Invite your journalists friends to cover this event, spread the word of discounts and don't talk about the technology behind it!

We need to circle cripto economy, not just to do buy and hold and this trading shit, we need to really spend money, buy products, it will catch their attention. We need more shops (that sells common products) to start accepting cripto.

This needs to start, and it needs to be a global movement, and it needs to be as soon as possible...

Governments all over the world are bringing their own CDBC to live... and let me tell you. I live in Brasil, and their CDBC is much more user friendly than BTC or Nostr or any Web 3.0 app and it's already inserted in peoples life through fiat...

The way things are moving BTC and general Web 3.0 will always be a marginalized/niche thing.

Yes, what client do you use? Easiest setup atm would be primal. Allows for built in zap wallet on iOS and is on all mobile and desktop options. highly recommend using it primarily on mobile.

Everyone makes a big stink about logging into your nostr account with a copy/paste of your insec, but when you first get started dont worry about doing it to make life easier. Just dont build your account for years and have bad login habits.

Thanks for your support!

I’m using Damus right now, and Primal for web browser

If you are willing to use you "own node" option, you can pay $25/month for Voltage.cloud. really easy low maintenance option, but has a cost. Nos2x may be the best option for now.

Upon further review I see there is no option for new users without a node.

Yeah… I do not want to setup my own lightning node and make alby connect to it. Too much trouble haha

For sending zaps configuring a non custodial wallet like blue wallet is enough?
