I tell people "I was just zapped bitcoin on nostr for my post" and it is received as a statement of confusion and entitlement. I then tell them "I was just paid $20 USD for a Facebook post" and they have a sudden interest and want to know how.
How can we abstract away from the termonology and lift that still exists for onboarding bitcoin and now nostr? I've always said that as long as we use the terms wallets, keys, address, and words that have existing tangible meaning we will continue to confuse and encounter friction with the most general user archetype.
