"That's a really cool aspect of the Bitcoin community and the nostr community as things are right now is most of our users are not your typical what you consider like dumb TikTok users. most of them are like borderline developers. And when people bring up the typical conversation of like we need slicker apps that have easier user interfaces and don't make me think kind of stuff We don't have those users. We have a user base that is like Exponentially more curious than any any other user base out there. As long as the app does something and isn't broken, if you throw it out to the Bitcoin community, they will figure out how to use it." ~ hzrd
