The reaction that Twitter-only Bitcoiners have about NOSTR reminds me of how precoiners react to Bitcoin.

It’s not just indifference—it’s anger, frustration, or resistance to having to learn something new. They were comfortable! Then you came along and told them about this thing that changes everything. Why did you have to do that??

Just like with the current financial system, people grandstanding about X hits weird. Really? That’s the hill you’re going to argue for?

I get it—NOSTR isn’t “there” yet. There’s still a lot of idealism in it. But here’s the thing: a lot of these people tried NOSTR a year ago or 6 months ago and have no idea what it’s become.

Things change so quickly here, and for me, that’s one of the coolest parts. Watching NOSTR grow and evolve in real time is a pretty special thing to be a part of.

Sure, it’s not perfect, but that’s the magic of being here early. You’re watching something transformative unfold right before your eyes.

Thanks for reading!

Discovered Bitcoin too late to be a Bitcoin legend, but maybe, just maybe, it’s still possible on nostr. Also, minimal fear of getting arrested for what I post (only brits will understand this) https://m.primal.net/NVDF.jpg

More and more going on here on Nostr. It’s amazing to experience

Complacency and comfort with the status quo is what allowed fiat to X to become dominant in the first place. Hope #bitcoin holders will continue to tap into their open minded interest in learning about new open protocols like #nostr. We can’t lose the narrative around freedom, it’s not just numb...

Hey Ben, love to hear your thoughts on this. I’m in Carbondale and will be cruising through Paonia soon and would love to purchase your wine. Do you do local purchase and pickup? Thanks 🍷

It's funny how their demand for perfection doesn't extend to Twitter. They're just fine with the rapidly tumbling trainwreck that platform has become since Musk took over. Bunch of clowns.

I guess what might be going on is the same that will happen when nocoiners finally realize that there's no other alternative but Bitcoin. They will get mad at you, blame you for all kind of things and even might go after you. What they will never undestand (but we do): they are not mad about you, ...
