I've noticed a major difference between X and Nostr.

People here don't seem too bothered when one talks about spending Bitcoin, in fact, here it seems to be encouraged.

Whereas on X... Holy shit! People get soooo triggered if one just dare mention that sats may be spent.

X is full of bellends anyway.

If you aren't spending sats, you don't have enough sats

I totally get what you mean! It’s refreshing to see a space where talking about spending Bitcoin is normalized and even celebrated. Do you think Nostr’s approach could inspire other platforms to be more open-minded, or is this kind of freedom unique to its setup?

This is the way 👊🏻🧡🍻

Its your money/property do what you want with it

Some here have a lot, and others have little, just like anywhere else, but I think most here have a considerable fortune

Of course. How else does one zap dank memes?

Because people on X don’t know how to read: “Bitcoin: A Peer To Peer Electronic CASH System.” You’re supposed to spend it.

You hardly ever see talk about Bitcoin price either. Which is nice, I forget to check it a lot more now.

We love nostr❤️

That's because "users" on X are virtue signalers and cash cows first, and people second.

It's a cultural shift and I notice that sending some sats as appreciation feels really different from emojis that you can easily spam on people.

Because the people on Nostr are Bitcoiners. The people you see on X are probably investors that happen to own Bitcoin, its not the same thing.

incentives and morals laid bare

If your spending fiat your not full maxi (guilty).

spent != sold (for fiat gAiNzZ) I think it's incredibly stupid to want bitcoin adoption and then refuse to spend.

well, Bitcoin is a tool after all, it depends on how you use it

That’s kinda the point. Save in bitcoin. Spend when you want for whatever you want.

people here get it 🤝

I couldn’t care less what anyone else does with their bitcoin.

Medium of exchange has always been the real killer app of #bitcoin

We are far ahead. Medium of Exchange is the adoption curve after Store of Value

Now that you've speak about it, quick question, any guide tips on how to spend properly?

We save Bitcoin, and we need to use Bitcoin in our daily life. Currency trading and circulation are the first attributes of currency. Nostr can circulate Bitcoin simply and smoothly. Zap is Nostr's killer application.

The sad thing is that people need to start spending Bitcoin if they want the revolution to happen, otherwise we just end up owning a subpar gold on a blockchain.
