Spent time with a bunch of good Bitcoiner friends. Most of them don't use nostr. All of them urged to explain why they don't without being asked to do so. An indication of a bad conscience, I guess that's good for nostr but it doesn't really matter. Anyway, what's their reason? They haven't seen nostr used for much more than "just social media".
Obviously, they're retarded and wrong and I love them. But that doesn't matter either. They don't know that the most exciting use cases of nostr are beyond a Twitter clone and it seems that that's what would make them reconsider it, but I don't believe them really. I think they don't care and made up a bunch of nonsense excuses because they feel the social pressure from their Bitcoiner peers.

Retarded in the sense of "late", obviously.
Try writing about what's exciting.
Or be a normie and call people retarded for not understanding what you're not explaining.
Makes you wonder why people use social media in the first place.
Nostr definitely needs better onboarding help, especially in the realm of tying everything together, i.e. use of wallets and the key managers (NWC?) used to tie into multiple nostr apps at once...🤔🧐😳
The reason, I believe, is that NOSTR is not fully decentralized and still imperfect, but at the moment it's the best social platform we have in terms of privacy and freedom of expression. We need to use NOSTR to incentivize it and allow the system to scale.
You already mastered the GM and GM, that's mostly it.🤷♀️😆
Daring thesis:
nostr, and by that I mean the SM platform, will only work as long as it remains small and reasonably sophisticated. Once the John Doe consumer joints and the bot armies invade as well, then there also needs to be some form of moderation and unfortunately also censorship?!
Maybe I am wrong and plz feel free to change my mind, but at the moment, we're still a very small network and this also is a big reason why nostr working!?
I didn't have a GM.
who is a drive chain maxi?
like you 💜🫂
