Another interesting angle to the UK’s under-16 social media ban:
If young people end up migrating to Nostr, and they’re using clients like Primal, many of them will be introduced to Bitcoin from day one.
On most social networks, you’re the product.
On Nostr, you’re much more likely to discover zaps, Lightning payments, and self-custody.
More importantly, having access to a Bitcoin wallet at a young age could teach lessons that traditional social media never will.
How to manage money.
How to save.
How to protect your assets.
How to take responsibility for your own finances.
Instead of spending years online collecting likes and followers, they could be learning about ownership, value, and financial sovereignty.
Imagine millions of teenagers joining a social network where sending value is as easy as liking a post.
The UK may be trying to reduce social media use, but it could unintentionally accelerate adoption of decentralized social media and Bitcoin.
The biggest onboarding funnel for Bitcoin might not be an exchange.
It might be a social network.
