Discovered nostr last night. Wonderfully chaotic. I feel like I've seen the future, and bitcoin will be the rails. Anyone else taken the dive recently?

I still don't understand it. I mentioned it in another post, but I felt like I was command-line LARPing in Neuromancer.
Maybe I am approaching it the wrong way? What is the easiest way for a new person to engage with it? What even is it?

Caveat. I have about one day's experience with nostr. I am no expert. It is a framework upon which clients can be built. You can "log in" to any with your own keys, create many profiles with new keys, or don't "log in" at all. To date, I have found clients that mimic Twitter and reddit, and some clients include a lightning wallet with your keys. It's pretty primitive right now, but Jack Dorsey's development donation has created excitement. Decentralized commerce through lightning seems inevitable down the road.

Ahh I see we are still early. I still have no idea what any of this stuff means. I hope it becomes a lot easier to engage with from UX side if they hope to get broad appeal, otherwise it feels just like Tildeverse / Mastadon.

I agree. It's very early. Why I'm hopeful is because nostr is really just a decentralized framework upon which anything can be built.
