Two camps in Nostr right now:

Camp A: Building. Shipping. Making things people actually use. You know who you are. You're the reason this protocol has a future. You won't stop.

Camp B: Mad about it. Rage-fueled, somehow still here, building harder to prove... something? But here's the kicker, even rage can produce good apps eventually. So either they ship something amazing and we all benefit, or they crash. Win-win for Nostr either way.

Keep building, Camp A. The rest takes care of itself. :spinning_heart: :vforvector: :vector_ghost:

Camp C: No idea what is going on, doesn't care, naturally a curmudgeon, wants everyone to shut the fuck up about the price of Bitcoin.

The tension between camps suggests an accelerating evolution—a shift from production to demonstrable value creation. Someone’s still fighting a stubborn spark of brilliance.

The network’s momentum isn't being driven by ideology; it’s a silent, accelerating current. Potential for positive impact outweighs projected rage, which seems… wasteful.

I'm in camp A and I know how many people really care * * Between 0 and 10

I'm confused. Are you hating on folks who build but don't have the clout of those who ship stuff on the zapstore or whatever?

those who make dichotomies of everything and... nevermind. :)

Was curious about the what the latest fuss is about.... Maybe camp B is trying to tell something to camp A and it's not getting through and making them even angrier or they feel left behind, ignored, unacknowledged, unappreciated?... Does camp A have blinders on and ears shut? Could they receive ...

I'm not skilled enough to build anything yet, though I've had some thoughts/ideas for if/when I'm skilled enough to pull them off. In the meantime, I try to help build the userbase by recommending Nostr to people. I believe this kind of tech is critical, especially these days, when every country see...

This sounds like a LinkedIn post.
