Two things can simultaneously be true: 1) I want Nostr to succeed. 2) I don't love what it is today. Thankful for all those continuing to work on Nostr and the broader ecosystem 🫂 I only criticize out of love and to be sure that people understand that there are actually tradeoffs with Nostr! We need dissenting opinions on here.

Zaps are front and centre of every Nostr client, I think this focus is a a turnoff for the average normal person looking for a twitter alternative. Few people on earth care much for bitcoin , few understand it many actively distrust it . But worse still, almost nobody understands lightning (and lightning is even harder to use / understand than bitcoin). And who wants to switch to a platform they don't understand and lets be honest never will. Lightning is HARD!
