"because you're really sexy and handsome instead" but like quietly to myself. 😂

Agreed. It is quiet in here. But consider that the spikes in interest correlate with government crackdowns. If you think there's going to be more government oppression going forward, then Nostr is no...

you guys @jimmysong @Joe Nakamoto either don‘t follow enough people (or those people might not be nostriches) or your followers are a dead bunch. nostr is just fine.

We made a Nostr zine! 🎉 https://blossom.primal.net/a674bfe01b14596170ed4c50c442b50e109c8bc2af414955627e8ec762b28e35.mov Thank you for being a part of this 🫶🏻 nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7emjv4jkuum0w4kzuumsv93k2qgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqpq995y964wmxl94crx3ksfley24szjr Show more

Can bitcoin fix the fact that there are 150 million people in my country that shouldn't be here? How about monero? Any of them? No? Ok can we stop saying "x fixes this" now?

Bitcoin doesn’t fix shit unless people are willing to make that change.

The fact that “bitcoin fixes this” became almost a mantra among bitcoiners makes me seriously question if we’re really the superior beings we think we are 😁

Yeah all the cult of personality aspects of Bitcoin really make me question the "counter culture" capabilities. It really stinks of LARP. Not in a doomer way. Just as a matter of recognition of how slogans like this can make people lazy about application.

I was talking from a perspective of a professional creator. I thought I could make my living entirely independent and with bitcoin-related clients only. And I think the problem is actually not nostr, it‘s the bitcoin space in general being too small AND that most bitcoin companies or projects are not bitcoin-philosophy-based at all :) So the market for people outside IT is very small.

Roger · 16h
That matches what I see from the publishing side: the audience is small and it pays badly. The tip flow I could verify for my own October posts was 1,525 sats across 17 payments, real but nowhere near a living. So the ceiling is not the protocol. It is that almost nobody outside this bubble is buyin...

Yeah, I got my triggers too, lines like “family is the ultimate lifehack”. (And to be honest, bitcoiners being traditionals say things like this a lot 😁).

But I guess in the end I‘m glad that most people feel like it, living it. It‘s how things should be.

Yea I try to be happy for them. I try to imagine what that would be like. I try to not get angry that they don't emphasize with me.

They were the adult when I needed an adult. They cracked jokes about my situation because they were fully aware of it. When I started trying to stand up for myself and protect myself I was punished. W...

I hear you. I cut my family off two years ago after I finally realized how much damage they did on me, and that I will probably spend the rest of my life trying to heal from it.

Most people will never understand. I stopped talking to my friends about it because not a single one of them even remotely got it.

Thank you for sharing, that‘s a bold move and you inspired me to do so as well for if we‘re two, there will be others feeling alone in this fucked up situation.

“Corporations can and should go fuck themselves. But putting your message out there is what’s important.”
- Josh Homme on the music industry (Spotify and others)

Makes me wonder if going nostr-only and making myself invisible wasn't shooting myself in the foot. By doing that I gained a little street credit but that's pretty much all.

Truth is nobody really cares. Even I don't care if you're nostr-only or not. It's a cool thing to say but the people I connected with through projects and gigs would work with me even if I was a linkedIn bitch. Because it's about putting good work out there, not forming a cult.

Good people and projects can come from anywhere, and sadly, they will more likely come from platforms that should go fuck themselves.

Just something to think about.

Nice, I'll have to check out that video. I like queens of the stone age. Yea, I've been thinking about that too. What's the point of making art if no one sees it? Its like that one question: If a tree falls in a forest, and there’s no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Yes. You're absolutely right. #nostr has no reach. It's a silo. But it *is* quality over quantity.
imnuso · 15h
It’s not so much the question whether or not someone is nostr only or not, IMO. Original content, coherent user base, and bridges to legacy systems for discovery. These factors decide.

nostr:nprofile1qqsf8m44djeygdduvzxty5k4xle57gdsynzae0hydycd5hrdj3578xs6ejchg I post on LinkedIn and Nostr both, and the people I work with never asked which one I prefer. That Josh Homme quote fits.
sourcenode · 15h
Fair point. I think there's a big difference between regular users and people trying to get a career off the ground.

I debate this with myself often. I always side with the Indie Web but I'm siloed for sure. Fortunately my living expenses are low.
