🇬 🇲 Suppose that one day someone turns to you and asks: "Hey, I've heard about Nostr, but what is it, exactly?" Do you have an answer ready for them? And after you answer them, what if they ask more questions, like: "Why do we need Nostr?" or "Can I use Nostr anonymously?" or "How does Nostr handle spam and bots?" Do you know how you would answer those questions, and others? This is one of the reasons why I'm collecting answers to these and 17 other questions, from some of the most knowledgeable Nostriches anywhere, and turning it into a book: "21 Questions: A Beginners Guide to Nostr" https://i.nostr.build/yPswjzbSrQZLQv0i.jpg You can use the book's answers to inform your own, or you can simply let your friend borrow the book, so they can get all their questions answered at their own pace. https://m.primal.net/LLBg.jpg "21 Questions: A Beginners Guide to Nostr" will make purple pilling easy, just as "21 Questions: A Beginners Guide to Bitcoin" made orange pilling easy: https://a.co/d/0mcMtUC
