**Lightning is the hidden killer feature of Nostr**
Yes, being censorship resistant and decentralized are both incredibly important, but most people won't realize why those two aspects are needed and important until it's too late. That's why I keep saying that the Bitcoin Lightning network and how it's tightly integrated into various aspects of Nostr are *the* hidden killer features. It's a way to micro-dose orange pill users onto Bitcoin in a friction-less and stress free, and fun manner.
I've had dozens of Nostr Plebs customers reach out to me over the past 5 weeks and tell me that they've never used Lightning, that they've never downloaded a Lightning wallet, or that they've had a Lightning node, but never opened channels. These Nostriches are now setting up their nodes, they're opening channels, and they're sending sats from their Lightning wallets to strangers around the globe - in seconds, with minimal fees, and no third parties are involved!
Keep the Lightning "Tips" are "Zaps" flowing. It's a great way to on-board new users. Even if it's just a few sats, it's always appreciated and always welcomed. It brings smiles to the faces of plenty of Nostriches.
