  nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s Jack's observation is on point.  Keep in mind he has been doing this for decades now, not to mention creating a social media site from scratch. You are taking this totally out of context.  He was simply stating fact, that the masses do NOT care about Bitcoin, sats/zaps, privacy, free speech, decentralization, etc. etc. etc. Although he did state he wishes this wasn't so.

If Nostr wants to attract the masses and RETAIN users, you are going to have to accept this reality, and try appealing to their interests/wants/needs.  Providing  "diverse" content/opinions/functionality. Clearly the foundation has been established here on Nostr, however, do not ignore the real reasons why people are on social media. Nothing wrong with EVOLVING and admitting why the masses use social media and/or the web.
