Feels like twitter is full of noise concerning #bitcoin. Yes, I understand that there are still plenty of topics that are not being covered on #nostr but for everyone who’s looking for bitcoin content and want to stay in the loop then nostr is no brainer. I wish to have other interesting people here on nostr so I can completely disregard Twitter account. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Would be awesome

Big question that is still being unanswered. How to keep the reputation between physical world and digital one while maintaining the digital anonymity? You might have a good reputation in physical world but when you are anonymous online then it is hard to transfer that reputation to the online world. Vice versa, you might have a good reputation online under your nym but how to transfer that to the real world without doxxing? What are your takes? Was somebody thinking about it? Looking forward to comments ✌️
