Useful stuff is useful now but it was weird when it first started. A photos only app? Weird. An app that is only 140 characters? Weird. Selling items on the Internet? Weird. Making payments on the Internet? Weird. Weird to many, useful to some, eventually turns into useful for most.

This is similar to how I think of it. UTXO shared one of his website that lets people send fiat using Bitcoin rails. I'm starting to think I am too idealistic, too anti-fiat for normies. To grow nostr, we(at least I) need to be less idealistic. @Sirius recently relased a VPN. I'm sure you know, but I find assigning an npub to each device facinating. I also think VPN's have a chance to grow nostr because companies spend money for VPN ads. There must be a demand for VPNs. This also makes me think we could use #nostr as an IoT protocol. I think Uncle Bob Martin even mentioned this in the very early days. I've used Home Assistant, but it's a pain in the ass. Nostr would make IoT much easier to run.
