If @Peter McCormack wanted to ‘fix the money, fix the world’ (more specifically, fix Bedford) and use his online presence to assist, using Nostr only would be dumbest decision he could make.
Nostr has approximately ~20,000 daily active users. Most of these users are in the USA.
How many people from Bedford actively use Nostr each day?
1 person?
3 people?
20 max?
If you are someone like @ODELL being Nostr only works. His core audience IS every person on Nostr - Bitcoin phreaks and plebz internationally.
Pete is trying to fix a town in the UK where no one uses Nostr.
For everyone else trying to communicate a message to the masses being Nostr only is fucking retarded. You are quite literally preaching to the choir in one of the most potent echo chambers on earth.

I see Peter as one of the most pragmatic voices to come through Bitcoin. He knows Nostr is not mega-scale mainstream. You clearly do as well but here we are. I'm not even sure we can talk about Nostr-only on X. Ultimately, audience size doesn't mean anything if the people you're trying to reach aren't there. He's come to the right place to address raise this "People fixes this" point.
