Zaps are the near-term killer feature. Openness is the long-term killer feature.
Let’s not talk about zaps in the past tense. They are absolutely the killer feature that makes everyone’s eyes light up. We need to double down on that. Lightning can scale globally through a combination of custodians and self-custody, which is fine. We are totally in the process of winning here, let’s lean into it.
Creating a better public square, powered by zaps, is the correct opening move. An ecosystem of apps built on the same open network will seal the deal. Nostr will replace the legacy web. Agreed, censorship resistance is important, but it alone won’t bring in the masses. But using the same identity and social connections in an ecosystem of beautifully executed apps that work well together? Everyone will dig that. That’s Nostr’s checkmate move.
IMHO we have a lot of work to do, but everything is moving in the right direction.
