Is nostr related to bitcoin?

I always only see it with the same people that talk about bitcoin.

Nostr has built-in support (NIP idk) for Bitcoin Lightning payments. Bitcoiners see Nostr doing to social media what Bitcoin did to fiat.

Well then social media has nothing to fear.

Bitcoin's market cap begs to differ.
"support" being a loose long list of protocol features that are entirely optional. Each client or server can only do much simpler things if you want.
