Some take aways how I understood it from listening to

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmm_2O0Us48&t=342s (very good listen)

- #Nostr is *NOT* Twitter. Nostr is more like a new type of Internet. (Permissionless).

- Twitter, Google, Mt Gox are all businesses that can fail or succeed. They dont influence the internet as such.
- The same way if, say, Primal was a "bad Twitter business", that does NOT take away from Nostr potentially creating all applications that we know from the internet. (or more)

- Bitcoin has about 125K holders (did I get that number right?)
- Nostr has the potential to easily onboard multiple that number with getting people into contact with sats / zaps (bitcoin via lightning).
- So only from bitcoiner perspective, "Nostr" (the Twitter type clients) is already very useful.

- Users that post non-bitcoin "normal" content get noticed a lot. (The example was kind of funny in the vid).

Thx for reading my blog post.
