Lucky Kite on Nostr: Nostr devs overlook a crucial point about the modern world: Huge numbers of social ...
Nostr devs overlook a crucial point about the modern world: Huge numbers of social media users esp on twitter (and majority of westerners who are under 35) describe themselves as socialists. They are not interested in crypto. They want to socialise their opinions not monetise them. Crypto capitalism is not the future many seek. Zaps have hindered nostrs appeal to the masses in my opinion, bitcoin only excites nostr nerds and devs who own crypto already. Nostr should be about freedom FROM money (including crypto), like peer to peer torrenting /chatting if you want to attract the mass of politically active people who use social media like twitter . Free speech should not be monopolised and controlled by corporations, but it should also not be monopolised and controlled by capitalism and money either. Including crypto capitalism.
