In your opinion: Which of your projects did brought people into Bitcoin and which did only appeal to the preexisting Bitcoin community?
Bringing precoiners into the space has always been an interest for me. In ~2017 Monstercat I sent a pitch to 600 of our artists to see if they wanted to get paid in bitcoin. At the time it was easier and cheaper to send a single transaction with 600 outputs than to do wire and batch paypal payouts. Almost all of our artists universally said no which was my first realization that education would be the most important thing in the coming years. I started bitcoinwizard.net to try to achieve this without much success.
There are lots of bitcoiners in the nostr/damus world just due to the fact that it's censorship resistant and is an open protocol, so this attracts lots of bitcoiners. Not to mention fiatjaf created nostr and he's a big bitcoiner (he also made lnurl, etc). I hope these apps don't only attract bitcoiners, censorship resistant speech is pretty important and should be interesting even if you're still a precoiner.
I try to focus most of my efforts on bitcoin projects so unfortunately I tend to only reach the bitcoin crowd. I'm hoping damus.io get's out there to the wider internet community so that more people get into bitcoin.
