I can’t imagine telling a Venezuelan who has maybe an extra $0.50 a day to save by buying bitcoin. I imagine a disposable income curve outside of the US where saving in dollars is the best thing you can do and after a certain threshold, buying bitcoin.

#Nostr is ded.

I personally find Nostr enjoyable still and haven’t really noticed a difference tbh. Then again I barely get any replies (never have) and I am not tracking or building apps on it.

But I would imagine for those that are building on it and trying to grow it, are bitcoiners.

My 2 sats on the situation.

I think a massive reason why people dont stick around on nostr is because bitcoiners are dicks.

I also believe many bitcoiners are just contrarian and want to like what others don’t know about yet, kind of like the hippie movement.

This makes is VERY difficult to cultivate mass adoption. I would say damn near impossible. Imo its not the login, the apps or the ui.

It’s us!

I think the end goal for all of us is the same. We want the world to be a better place.

And as bitcoiners, we believe fixing the money is the only way we have a real shot of doing that.

And this leads us to vehemently arguing with each other, which I personally think is needed at times.

But, we have to acknowledge that 99% of the world is not like us. We are literally sick in the brain dude! We tolerate these massive dips, roll dice in a dark room, seperate wallets across cities, etc. lol. I don’t think we should expect even 10% of people to do this.

To me Nostr engagement and growth is a direct indicator of how well WE are at communicating and accepting people who aren’t 100% Bitcoin maxis.

Agreed.

Interesting take. Ultimately, I think the biggest draws right now are the value for value principle, decentralization, and censorship resistance. The development of cool functionality and add ons I believe can be a big draw too. I suppose it’s just a matter of showing people. But to your other poi...

Think I’m gonna sell 32 sats to tank the market down to $58k so we can all move on.

What do you think?

Crazy outflows on the ETFs. Not surprising, a lot of those buyers don’t and will never understand the real properties.
