 Hopium is great and all, but realistically, i think nostr can't be used for more than posting notes by no coiners. Nostr "clicks" if the person is somewhat familiar with cryptocurrency already...that's how all of us got here too...

Then, once here on nostr your guided towards bitcoin naturally due to zaps.

I'm finding no coiner people I purple pill are not wanting to go through nosrs learning curve as they find it way to much information to process, while folks that have dabbled in any sort of cryptocurrency, understand getting through these types of digital learning curves.

I think we are working a bit backwards thinking that the purple pill helps the orangepill go down. 

It's not;
Fix social media 
Fix the world

Its;
Fix the money 
Fix the world

Thus, I think we should be focusing on teaching people globally that make under $50k/yr about bitcoin as these are the people who need bitcoin the most. Not to mention it's also the largest group of people globally. This is how bitcoin wins and becomes the money we want it to be and know it could be, not by getting a bunch of people here on nostr expressing their opinions overloaded with all this new information while having 5 other socials and a real life to maintain as they can't afford food even working 5days/week...

Financial security affords people the time and peace of mind.
Stress and information overload turn people away.
