hodl relays?

how about relays that provide verification with bitcoin transactions? let's say there is a fresh address that only i know, i tell the relay: i will send 0.01 btc to address x. the relay will constantly check this address, as long as 0.01 btc is there i will be registered with the relay. in fact my npub and bitcoin address will be matched and i will be rewarded with a relay for holding bitcoin. so only those who have a bitcoin address with 0.01 btc in it will be able to use this relay.

I think #Nostr would greatly benefit, if we had some Reddit style communities. I don’t know how to implement it via different relays or something, but in order for people to find each other and similar interests it would be great to have a place where all the discussion about a certain topic happens.

Maybe people could subscribe via hashtags?!

r/bitcoin was a big source of educational material for me, but if I had only come across Bitcoin stuff on Reddit it would’ve overwhelmed me in no time. I think something similar is happening with newbies entering #Nostr today.

Anyways if anyone else is interested in the following topics, hit me up in the comments, I’d like to connect:
