I said "all anyone ever talks about on Nostr so far is Bitcoin, which is boring". I mean, Bitcoin is and can be an interesting topic, but looking at the global timeline it's largely people asking for zaps, offering zaps, and saying how great nostr & Bitcoin are, without much more depth to the conversation. I sent you a thread where dozens of people are all posting hug emojis at each other, they're taking the term "hugbox" literally.
And I am used to sorting through people, I'm usually on the uncensored side of the fediverse where there are plenty of retards. But at least the retards there are interesting, and have more to talk about than "zap me, Bitcoin to the moon". I think the problem isn't nostr itself, since the relay structure is a good idea. It's that the whole zap thing incentivizes the lowest common denominator type of thinking, where a lot of people aren't here to have an interesting, two-sided conversation, but farm endorphins and sats.
