Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town

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?

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.

That's very true people on x are more into investment and store of value while Nostr is all about letting the sats flow the same scenario is seen in western countries and Africa where Africans are more into building solutions that enable easy transaction while Western countries are more into strateg...

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.
Constant · 83w
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.

If your spending fiat your not full maxi (guilty).
talvasconcelos · 83w
spent != sold (for fiat gAiNzZ) I think it's incredibly stupid to want bitcoin adoption and then refuse to spend.
renato · 83w
well, Bitcoin is a tool after all, it depends on how you use it

How did Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town start? nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqflam8vpf2r22u3wp33qs926l2l7hf658308ashvrf27h7ar7zu7qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qqsx0c5434cetxgvfumnvnlj5vtzdfar0u2sqz89gvr6zvjyrqpypeg09q0ep

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

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

Medium of exchange has always been the real killer app of #bitcoin
HODL_Detective · 83w
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?
Moss · 83w
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.
