rabble on Nostr: If people think Nostr is a crypto or blockchain protocol they think it’s some scam. ...
If people think Nostr is a crypto or blockchain protocol they think it’s some scam. That’s the reality of how all crypto is viewed by the average normie.
Nostr is not a blockchain project. It’s got some nice integration with lightning, but it’s not a bitcoin project either.
It’s an open super flexible permissionless protocol that lets us rebuild everything of Web 2.0 but in a way that puts users in control and allows for real privacy through end to end encryption. Let’s sell Nostr based on all the amazing things is can do.
I wish nostr developers and users would be more intentional about shaking the “crypto” reputation the protocol currently has as a strategy to attract more people. The fact that nostr is not blockchain doesn’t mean the masses won’t believe it.
