Nostr is an open protocol, like http, smtp, or ipfs, that allows communication of data. Right now it is being used as a “free speech twitter”, but the potential is much greater than just social media, since any data can move.
Anyone can build a client that interacts on the network, and almost all clients support “zaps”, user to user transmission of Bitcoin on the Lightning network.
There is no sign up, no email or phone required, just create a public/private key pair, and that is your identity. You can create as many identities as you want and use them for different purposes.
