Interview with Vitor PAMPLONA
I recently discussed how NOSTR was similar to the 2012 Bitcoin in 2025 with Vitor Pomplona, the producer of Nostr Client Amethyst. It’s a bit rough around the edge, but it’s interesting to use it.
NOSTR, a distributed protocol for social media and other types of communication, is only four years, and developers still find out how to create the best user experience within customers. These clients include apps such as Primal (compared with X) and OLAS (Instagram) (similar to Instagram).
However, the unique point of the NOSTR client is that the user can “zap” (a small amount of bitcoin) to express its gratitude for the content created by a fellow user.
And POMPLONA is optimistic that more and more NOSTR customers have begun to traction, just as Bitcoin started 13 years ago.
Pamplona told Bitcoin Magazine in an interview, “We have begun to see the community formed and more money is transferred.
Bitcoin fuel maker economy
POMPLONA admitted that some of the purposes of social media allow users to generate profits in a way that they cannot make in a physical environment.
POMPLONA said, “(some social media) users want to make a living.” I hope they can achieve more on social media than they can or in the city.
PAMPLONA can help NOSTR customers change their hope into reality, and it is his mission that helps users to perform users.
“This is our final goal. If the creator can take the creator until the time when he can make a living, he will win the platform.”
This potential, which users can make a living as a NOSTR, grows every day as the NOSTR user base expands and continues to grow into the world’s largest Bitcoin prototype economy.

While creating Amethyst, PAMPLONA had a vision for NOSTR customers used as the All-in-One app, which was inspired by an ELON Musk similar to a plan similar to the previous twitter.
POMPLONA said, “Amethyst has heard of ELON about buying Twitter.” He was like creating a mega app on Twitter and I went the same. “
POMPLONA understands that Amethyst has not achieved this, but he is happy to play a different role. It acts as a laboratory for those who develop new NOSTR customers.
“Amethyst is helping everyone starts his application.” “OLAS is from embroidery.”
NOSTR as a Bitcoin on boarding tool
POMPLONA sees NOSTR as a good way to board a bitcoin, but I don’t think this is the main goal of NOSTR customers.
Pomplona said, “The main goal of the (NOSTR) app is to let people do their jobs: people are creative, talks with friends, or talks with their families.
“You shouldn’t talk about Nostr or Bitcoin. They should just be their own.”
PAMPLONA is a while later, the user of the app is inevitably that the user provided by NOSTR for NOSTR’s self -interest can control his data and start learning about Bitcoin.
“The platform will help you manage your own data and use the best payment protocol we have today.”
And he emphasized that most new users are coming to Nostr because of their freedom and censorship resistance.
POMPLONA said, “In the last two years, most new NOSTR users have come in because of their censorship.” And they later learned about Bitcoin. “
