I like to hear about your reason of not being in Nostr, if you are not there.

I do not understand why people push this idea that nostr and bitcoin are related and must go together. Are two different protocols, that's all. Is not like if you use bitcoin you must use nostr too and vice-versa. Also nostr is not all about social media thing... is far way more than that. If you consider nostr just as a replacement for twatter... you understand nothing about it.

I didn't meant people MUST use those together. I mean if you some people care about privacy and freedom, then why they don't use Nostr too?

Also, it's clear that Nostr is NOT JUST about social media, and I didn't meant using it as social media or not, using it in any way you like.

As a platform, Nostr is also subject to the constraints of network effects. The more users Nostr has, the more valuable it becomes, and the more likely it is to attract additional users. Clearly, Nostr still has a long way to go.

I think it's chicken and egg. Not so many people are using nostr yet so it's not so engaging. I use it and hope it will keep getting more popular!
