Was the cypherpunk mailing list more important than bitcoin?

Without free speech you don’t have a free people. I think Nostr is more important tbh.

Idk but it seems they can work hand in hand perfectly 🤝

💯 Free speech is just as important as freedom money, if not more. But - There can/will be many more Nostr clones. - There can't be another #Bitcoin. This is it. One shot, one opportunity.

Busting bubbles since block 1.

So, run and buy Bitcoin instead of writing texts here.

In order to transfer money, you need to be able to communicate and be informed as well. Money is only the first thing to fail. When communications fails too, Nostr will be ready.

Bitcoin prevents theft of time and energy. Free and open speech allows one to expose the theft. Is it the chicken and the egg question?

Sorry, but that comparison doesn't make any sense. 🫂

It feels like you're justifying nostr failure. I think nostr time doesn't arrived yet

Fix the money fix the world

Yep!!

Family is much more important than bitcoin.

so dont shell Bitcoin core 30 then please...

freedom of speech is much more important than freedom of transaction...

Maybe Bitcoin is much more harden and developed. And I would argue people are more shitty about you messing with their money than their freedom to speak (not sure why really, but its just true), so I could see that Bitcoin being a stronger tool to improve rights and freedom.

True

There’s no freedom without a free market, free speech and sound money. They are equally important. Nostr is a public square (free speech, offer and buy goods) and market place (you can zap to pay). Bitcoin is the sound money. And you are the attack vector. Find core devs and spreading propaganda...

I would argue that Bitcoin is the most important thing for money but nostr is probably the most important code SINCE Bitcoin's for speech. In other words, we need both. Unless we want to use Bitcoin's blockchain for speech besides using it as a digital photo album.

What is the context of this statement? Both are useful technologies to help us achieve self sovereignty, privacy and avoid censorship etc... Is there a matter of allocation of resources to one or the other? I argue that the purple pill is easier to swallow and will turn many orange once they go p...

MATTHEW THIS IS THE KIND OF THING YOU SHOULD POST ON TWITTER.

Both are great and important! One enables the other to

Especially now you can post cat memes on bitcoin, do we even need Nostr?

Is it though?

Well, it’s more important than pretty much anything so yes. Nostr gud too though

Bitcoin is a backbone of nostr. Bitcoin gives purpose and vision to nostr. And nostr is a platform to onboard and connect all 10 Million Bitcoiners on single place. Without bitcoin, nostr is just another social feed build by some revolutionary folks who stand against censorship and control.
