 Is it accurate to say #nostr is a communications protocol?

Or how would you succinctly describe what it is to normies?

 I think of it like if bitcoin and xitter had a baby 
 Sure, at its most basic level, Nostr is a communication protocol that acts as the social glue that binds all of your apps together. 
 Thanks Derek! 
 Communications protocol with a self-sovereign identity layer. But that's too much for most normies already, and nostr is also more than that.  
 😂 That’s the problem I’m having trying to write about it! 
I’m adding a #nostr section to the 2nd Edition of my book, and wanting to make it as accessible as possible, since it’s written for bitcoin/nostr noobs.

Would be truly honored if you’d write a short forward if you think the book has value. I DM’d you :)
