 Well you got hashtags and zaps figured out apparently so something tells me you already know more than you’re letting on 
 😕 
 Nostr, short for Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays, is a decentralized social media protocol created by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Bitcoin developer Matt Odell. It allows users to publish messages and follow other users, similar to traditional social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook. However, unlike these centralized services, Nostr operates through a network of relays that store and transmit user content instead of relying on a single company or organization. This approach ensures greater privacy, censorship resistance, and freedom of speech compared to centralized alternatives. Users can create their own accounts and identities using cryptographic keys, allowing them to control who sees their content and preventing others from impersonating them.
Additionally, Nostr supports payments and tipping using Bitcoin, enabling monetization of content without the need for intermediaries. 
 Thank you for right information
