Things I like about #nostr...
. LN interweaves it to #bitcoin so closely it's sometimes hard to separate the two . it's kinda bitcoin's social layer . you can do your thing and you can't be undone by anyone . getting a half dozen sats every once in a while seems like striking it rich . it gives off that "we're onto something special here" feeling (remember early internet? remember when you first "got into" bitcoin?)
what am I missing?
The fact that "Zaps" are so low- to no-friction means there are countless ways someone can provide value and I can reward/thank them for it. It could be a comment, blog post, song, funny meme, an idea, a compliment, critique, conversation, services rendered etc. This seriously cripples the need for the ad-driven model that's unfortunately been a necessary "evil" on the Internet for the past 3 decades. That potential disruption is a huge thing I like about nostr, and specifically the LN integration.

I couldn't believe everyone thought the social platforms were just fine and dandy. I didn't know where all the sane people were. They're on Nostr.

It’s potentially a major and easy to use platform for kyc free Bitcoin transactions
