Tim Bouma on Nostr: Social media or monetizing otherwise free user-generated content isn’t the use case ...
Social media or monetizing otherwise free user-generated content isn’t the use case that will encourage #nostr adoption. It’s a start, but certainly not the end game. Nostr events have no value of themselves. Once someone figures out how to use nostr to underlay a completely novel use case, then things will take off. I have a hunch, it will be based on what is specified in NIP-01 along with a few conventions, no more.
