Nostr’s superpower is not censorship resistance - that’s a benefit.
The real superpowers are:
1. Network effects
2. Supercharged distribution across multiple clients
3. Zaps
Just my 2 sats.
When I told my Twitter friends about Nostr, all they saw is a wimpy Twitter clone that doesn’t compare at all. They didn’t know about zaps; didn’t realize it’s cross platform and cross client; and that literally anyone in the world can build on it and instantly tap into the network, making it as powerful as internet itself.
