 I don’t understand the obsession with getting my grandma on nostr. 

Products need to start with a very specific and clear target audience. Then build out after we satisfy the needs of that group. If the target is just people who want to do social media, we will most probably fail. 

Nostr was born from Bitcoiners, I personally believe we need to continue to serve that group. No shame in that, and nothing is wrong with this goal. 

Bitcoiners are people too, and trust me they have interests and hobbies beyond Bitcoin just like everyone else. Continue to serve them, give Bitcoin an application, build tools for Bitcoiners to sell their work. 

Others will join.

 Check dms 🙏 
 I second this. Serve the priority users first. The rest will gradually comes.

 A huge tranche of VC funding gets unlocked once we reach a critical mass of grandmas. 
 I don't even know your grandma, much less am I obsessed with her.  But ok, fine. Send a pic. 😉 
 Well said 👏 
 Plus everyone knows that once the grandmas join a social app, the kids are ready move on to the next thing. We don’t even have the kids here yet 😂 
 Make nostr for Young Bitcoiners. 

Oh wait that’s ZBD 😅😅

Nvm. 
 Time to get grandma involved in bitcoin… 
 granny’s a core developer. 
 It’s just a metaphor for making the UI easy and lifting bitcoin and nostr up from a nerd only tool. Most people don’t give a shit about decentralization 
 This is the nostr grandma paradox all over again.
