Most important thing IMO for that audience:

1. Nostr is not a blockchain and has no native token. Many apps are integrating with lightning though.

2. Nostr has relays which are very different than bitcoin nodes. They operate as singular entities that track everything their asked to. No gossiping between them. Totally different topology from bitcoin.

3. Most applications look Twitter-like currently, but it’s an extremely generic protocol. Could support code repositories, private messaging (maybe), long form publishing etc…use cases in the future with other app development.
