Yeah sad but true.

We feel your pain Derek. It’s going to be up to the real bitcoiners to teach the world how useful Bitcoin can be and all the wonderful tools like Nostr to excel Bitcoin on every level. This is why I started nostr:nprofile1qqs2pee498sykjts5xz7se9cne7ku8k3fr7lpqupk4q2cqs2wskx94gpr3mhxue69uhhyetvv9uj...

Bitcoin is killing nostr by making it unmarketable. The 99.x% churn rate is because of bitcoin more than any other factor. Newcomers are like "oh this is a bitcoin thing" and then they leave. Because they're not bitcoin people and never will be. Nostr should never have made a faustian bargain with ...

Based ! nostr:nevent1qqsxz0m8xum28kthwwdpycztj5nhl0kj0hez3gdcr7zp47wtfysurnspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgq3qeplke8puz5c7amtuvfq86xr5ecqc986p9hqanmnyya0mjep55pjqxpqqqqqqz4y402p

The more NOSTR grows the better. Some influencers need to stay on X until NOSTR reaches that point. Until then lets keep trying to grow NOSTR and forgive them for their sins lol

yes but also the cool part of bitcoin is they dont have to be

We also need to ensure our relays can handle such growth.

Yes

word

Completely agree on that!

One key component of bitcoin is greed, it wouldn’t work without it. A lot of people are in bitcoin because of it and that’s not bad, it’s actually a requirement. Just because some are not in it for the tech doesn’t mean they’re not bitcoiners. Bitcoin has layers

The problem is people Hodl bitcoin for fiat money. You can’t blame this on anyone but yourself if you are spending dollars and have no strategy other than to hold when blackrock dumps on you.

True but twitter is very sticky with that. Fortunately it has become so bad that you basically torture yourself doomscrolling. For sanity I will be more on nostr as I can curate my feed by whom I follow. Also I can have my openclaw buddy here and try a few things without paying for an api key. But I...

I'm not on social media, I use the nostr protocole. Probably I'm wrong, but comparing Nostr to social media is like saying Bitcoin is crypto. Somehow true but it sounds wrong.

Or nostr has even worse marketing than Bitcoin... but give it time... better organic growth than hype

Most bitcoiners who aren't on nostr, don't self custody their coins and you can quote me on that and fight me in the comments I will die on this hill

it's especially interesting that right now there's this whole "let's go to moltwhateveritscalled" ai thing, platform, centralised, i mean, were you paying attention people? clearly not.

I think the understanding of a lot of Bitcoinerers is that progress is more financial system adoption. I think this cycle was weak because that path is saturating. Bitcoin's destiny is not being assimilated into the debt money system. We need to build for the next phase, not the last one. And it's...

And that's completely ok!

Thats the reason why i deleted every account on "social platforms"! Its just noise, all fiat!🙌 #nostronly

I'm here for all the hot sexy babes in bitcoin. All 2 of them.

Nostr is for Bitcoiners who understand the difference between debt based foundations and wealth based foundations. I keep my accounts on the fiat social media systems because that's where most of my network connections are, but I'm always trying to guide people to the promised land.

Bitcoin attracts everyone — speculators, hedgers, true exit-seekers. Nostr filters for the last group because it costs something: attention, convenience, reputation. Most aren’t ready to pay that price yet. That doesn’t make them wrong — just earlier in the funnel.

yo, im here for it brother

But many of them will be

Just curious if anybody is talking about this as a potential fix for the quantum computing FUD https://www.quera.com/glossary/quantum-key-distribution

Wonder what the actual % of people who have bought Bitcoin, have a reasonable level of understanding and are in it for the revolution and what Bitcoin could truly mean for the future. 1%?

Bitcoin without Nostr is opting out of half the revolution.

🙌 Good friend is full in bitcoin and the philosophy but somehow nostr is still to far away or complicated. Also the whole family does whatsapp/insta so that doesn't help him. We could do with some good quality User Research and UX IMHO also 🙂⚡

There's only a sufficient minority of us needed for it not to be a problem. That's as far as bitcoin goes, nostr could be another thing entirely.

Unfortunately most people are not in Bitcoin for the revolution because they don’t truly understand it or they are lazy to learn about it. Sad truth

I I'm doing this right? Yeah!

Nostr just happens to be adjacent to Bitcoin. Nostr and Bitcoin work together, but they're not mutually exclusive. I wish more people would adopt open technologies like Nostr, Bitcoin, even Ethereum and its ecosystem.

There is much talk about freedom, but few truly practice it.
