The problem isn't the currency. The purchasing power is going to be used regardless of the currency and nothing transfers that value better than zaps.
We just don't have enough users.
Maybe we should have more resellers selling standard goods? 🤷♂️
vinney...axkl (nprofile…36ag) - weren't you working on a service to build trust in the marketplace?
The way I see it, #nostr is the new Internet. As such were going through the same pain as the early 90's. No one trusts enough to purchase from a random marketplace store. Maybe a web of trusted store fronts selling similar goods to what you would see on Amazon.
We need merchant adoption.
