What if you meet people who wants to steal your Bitcoin instead? As in threaten/beat you until you give up your keys? Seems risky...

Those sound like horrible friends!

Our top priority should all be growing the Bitcoin network. Here's my feedback.
Stacker did your idea first.
Honestly I have no desire to use your site because I'm already on Stacker. I joined stacker to stack sats.
I wish stacker had a wider audience. I'm definitely not looking for a smaller, more Bitcoin focused social media.
Basically I want Reddit with sats instead of karma. Make that instead. Your business model is doomed. You want to appeal to the most people possible.
Make Reddit with sats and LN login.
Plus, I don't want another app on my phone. I have a browser and I'm not afraid to use it. Web first, then app. Otherwise it looks sketchy.
I want to be able to get 100,000+ sats for posting good content. I do good here to get 100 sats here.
Don't advertise to Bitcoiners. Advertise to everybody. Get paid real money to post. This idea is valuable. Your idea is garbage.
Your site needs to draw in celebs and influencers with already huge followings. They need to direct their followers to use Bitcoin. You'll need to contact them and convince them. So bribe them to add your social network to their lineup.
So when Ashton Kutcher posts his sex video, it'll post on Twitter, insta, Reddit, and your project. He'll only get paid from your project. So it's obvious he's going to pump his own earnings and pimp your site to everybody over the other social medias.
Put this business model together. Use it to get funded by investors. Use the funding to bribe celebs to grow your network, oh and also the Bitcoin network.
Celebs (or anyone) will be able to directly receive donations from their fans and followers. Just institute limits not avoid KYC requirements. I wonder how stacker.news does this? It's open source allegedly. Maybe check into that.
Now tip me heavily for saving all your hard work from being squandered. Your idea is shit. Use mine instead.
You could even go a step further and just copy everyone's profile from every other social media app and create all the accounts on your site. Then let people from the other apps "claim" their account and get the money from it.
You can use the funding from earlier as bonuses to condition people to use your site (i.e. pay them sats). Trust me it's really effective/addictive. You should tip be a million sats for this advice BTW.

So you earn more custodial money inside your little app the more people you onboard and the more they onboard? Sounds like a pyramid scheme.

cool idea, and welcome to SN!
just a quick UX nitpick, some of the profile cards are being truncated on mobile right now.
Excited to see this app evolve!
