Exchanges list them, websites cover them, wallets add them. Even Twitter has the NFT profile pics. But they can&#39;t do that on Nostr. &#xA;&#xA;And further, the Lightning integration means they have to use Bitcoin! The sad fact is that for all their developers, altcoins don&#39;t have anything like lightning. And they know if they come here, they&#39;re going to need to convert some of their stash.&#xA;&#xA;It&#39;ll be fun to watch the VCs try to downplay Nostr&#39;s significance as they try to protect their bags. But it won&#39;t work. An actual decentralized network is forming and their centralized crap won&#39;t work here.&#xA;&#xA;Let them have centralized platforms. Decentralized money belongs on a decentralized platform.</html></oembed>
