I heard fiatjaf on an interview a little while back expressing his concern that nostr would just be about bitcoin. He felt it would prevent the growth of nostr. I worry nostr as bitcoin echo chamber will counterintuitively slow down the adoption of bitcoin. I try to tone down my maxiness on nostr. It has to be a place for diverse topics and opinions. Bitcoin is the currency. Even people who don't like or care about bitcoin want to get zapped. I think it would be best left as a payment method than for nostr to become a giant Stacker News.
I experimented with non-bitcoin topics for a few days and got zero interactions, LOL.
I don't have many followers, though. I don't know if it counts.
I agree with you completely on what Nostr has to become, but I think it will be a bitcoiners paradise for a while.
