Hi. Out of interest for tech, I decided to give #Nostr a try. My previous understanding of #crypto is that it is play money that is basically tied to pseudo-work (mining) with no social value. So entering here I am very surprised to read the exact opposite of #Bitcoin. So I now have a couple of curious #btc related questions: Most here seem to be very much for btc. I lean towards #privacy so I naturally tend to see #Monero as the default choice for crypto. Why is Bitcoin a better choice (is it?)? How does Nostr relate to btc from a tech point of view? There is no blockchain in the Nostr spec, is there? So is the relation merely social ie the same people here and there? #question
