Nostr in sheer decline:

It was all a dream.

If zaps are anonymous they will be gamed immediately. Fiat influencers will come and zap the shit out of their own posts to draw attention and make it look like they’re getting more engagement than they truly are.

I’m sure there are cases where anonymous is better but then just zap their profile rather than a note.

Relay management is key, that's for sure. Some clients are even doing this automatically for their users.

Indeed it is. I uninstalled it a few minutes ago.

twitter is already dead but it will probably take a few years before the rest of the world figures that out

Add your Lightning address in settings!

And comment, so I can zap your post!

Nostr is very very cool…but…we’re a long way from normies wanting an unfiltered, decentralised social network which doesn’t have all their favourite famous peeps.

Bitcoiners will naturally have a love for Nostr because it fits with their worldview and understanding.

Like educating the benefits of Bitcoin, Nostr will have the same challenges. Zaps, nPubs etc… won’t mean much to most people.

For now it’s a super cool Bitcoin chat room.

Nostr is proving what I have been saying about Twitter for years; if they integrate Bitcoin they will be the worlds biggest “Financial Institution” ever; the biggest bank with no money, with the greatest number of clients with no accounts, the biggest bank with no branches, money or staff. It could still change everything. Sadly, Elon thinks money is some sort of weird joke. I’m not sure why, and I don’t care much; bigger things are coming.

I hope someday reposts and zaps completely replace the need for “likes”/🤙🏼.

Reposts and zaps are true value exchange…and have a real cost: your reputation or money.

Likes are superficial and exist only to inform an algorithm.

Relevance algorithms have their place, but they are best informed by a truly costly action.
