i deleted my x account 2+ years ago and went nostr only
i am back on x now, the bitcoin discussion there has devolved and i think i can add value
despite (some of) our efforts we have failed to move the majority of bitcoin discussion here
i will remain active on nostr, the tech is awesome, it is needed more than ever, i will continue to try my best to increase adoption
if you want to make me your enemy to motivate yourself to make nostr better, great, do it

Just make an Odell bot to do your bidding there
What is your X account? I don’t see you with this one.
😂 Double agent era unlocked! Just don’t forget to bring some lost souls back with you. 🤝
Aren’t you exhausted yet?
Yestr
elon is auctioning the ODELL account to the highest bidder because i deleted it
so i created a fresh handle


X (formerly Twitter)
ODELL (@ODELLXYZ) on X
bitcoin
No bugs no pod
i am very tired boss but we push forward
What a dick. He’s a reason why socialism continues as a popular idea amongst the masses.
I'll ride nostr to zero before going back - but i appreciate your service 🫡
Is this a Hoskinson moment?
Back to the fiat mines!
It’s a lost cause.


Tell them we have zaps here
The discussion used to be better here. I've found that I don't see most posts from people just on primal and that started last year. Whatever caused that seems to have killed good discussions in my feed
I never left x but I was suspended for quite a while, and Nostr was my only way to communicate with the world.
I use that lesson that me, @AilliA, @Howard Chu @ Symas, and many others have learned that we need alternatives to protect us from centralization.
I hope that you continue to use your influence to share information about the tools that keep us free 😎🙏.

I think you’re right this has the potential to be a win for X users, nostr users & most importantly for you.
Keep building. Stay humble stack sats
Oops, meant to react with 🔥 not 😅
Some new user influx around these parts would be welcome. Let us know how feel of Twitter has changed with all the tweaks they've made to the algo
honestly its been pretty gay over here recently too
agreed
I heard the Epstein files are on x. Let us know when you find them.
gosh I wish I had your free time 🤨

No lies
It was a noble effort & there is no shame in changing course as you see fit… keep fighting the good fight and when it’s necessary go ALL CAPS on their asses ✊🏼

in real life I tend to do the dirty work, on the the internet odell does the dirty work.hapoy for once, it's not me.🫡
If it wasn’t for bitcoin twitter, I wouldn’t have been all in on bitcoin and probably shitcoining till now.
All true bitcoiners deleted xitter, that caused the rise of suit coiners. Now the whole class of 2024-2025 don’t own self custody bitcoin, just iou, which is not a good look moving forward.
You can absolutely add value.
Bitcoin discussion is like a wild animal, untamed and free, just like our ancestral diets.
bitcoin doesnt need twter. next time elon pumps doge on the homescreen and shadow bans you for posting about nostr
well, you can say to yourself, at least this only cost me 11k sats/mo to be humiliated and drive more traffic to this dying platform.

Thought I saw you there... I already expressed you should be on x probably 1-2 years ago.
Lol, have you also sold your Bitcoin?
Make sure to tell everyone at twitter that Nostr has died, it will be easier to earn their trust this way. 🤦♂️

Looks like it.
I've never understood the nostr-only strategy (rather than a mainly-nostr one, since you can use other platforms to drive traffic to nostr), but I think X is sort of melting down into bots, spam, and idiots asking grok stupid questions.
Most of the people who post there don't look at their replies, anymore, as it's so much trash. It's just a place to post your own stuff, really, like a board. A free website.
Deleted two years ago? You mean right when you created your new one? We don’t make you our enemy, you did, and it’s nothing new. View quoted note →
X sees bitcoin as a stock trade or digital capital, not per to peer cash. They're chasing fait gains. Im sure some will be able to see the forest through the trees
Odell himself caused it, by making Primal a centralized service that isn’t really a Nostr client but a proprietary service that scrapes Nostr for data. I generally do not follow anyone using Primal, and urge them to immediately take their nsec to another client.
you are welcomed back in normie land, where suitcoiners and stablecoiners are out of control.
I believe this to simply be Metcalfe's law + necessity. so long as X is perceived as a “free speech” platform, it will be a long uphill battle for Nostr.
X is far more interesting right now.
😂🤣
👏Many stings on a harp make beautiful music 🎶!

v30 core dump 😠

Man, you are so so compromised, like your friend Jack. I will pray for your souls.
I've been doing something quite similar as my works focus on nocoiners. So I have to move back to be active on the legacy platform. And it reminds me every day why I wanted to move to Nostr-only in the first place.
But should one "add value" to a cess pool? :-)
seriously bro wen 

then why are you here 🤔
Life success results from the wisdom of knowing when you can control a situation, and when to let go of things which you cannot. Which is this?

told ya my rabbi knows him 😗

I said it there, but I'll say it here too; Nostr is like Zion in the Matrix. X is like taking the Nebuchadnezzar for a spin and taking on some sentinals. Just remember to come back here to put some cheer back in your life because dear god it's soul sucking over there.



@#fuck_jews what happened? why so aggressive? why you wanna fuck us? yuosif are you palestinian by any chance? 👀🧐
Awesome. Much needed. Now the biggest bitcoin voice after @Magoo PhD will really help us fighting the grifters .
you made a good decision bro
I'm happy to be out of that shitbowl, but maybe it's your responsibility to make use of your spotlight. Good luck! hope you bring positief notes and stuff to them x'ers. And! be careful not to get sucked into those negatieve algo's feeding people hate and despair.
Seems like the X conversation has been dominated by treasury company tradfi bros and the knotzis this cycle.
Obsession with NGU has created a culture of USD cucks within the Bitcoin community.
Need to steer the convo back towards the cypherpunk roots. No KYC and transacting p2p is the way. Those are revolutionary acts.
Without an emphasis on this, the conversation on X will continue to degrade and become gayer and gayer.
Hopefully you can move the needle on X in the right direction.
I hope you find Jesus.
Omg you’re like the coolest smartest best person ever!!!
When are you going to move out of mommy’s basement?
The careful of those who tell you what you want to hear.
The strength and Bitcoin comes from speaking out when unfashionable or inconvenient.
Without anonymous accounts truth can be smothered.
Some people love to be truly seen, others live in total fear of that ever happening. They be needing an army of fake personas and flying monkeys just not to have to face their true self.
lol, get a life.
They are all gay bro
Solid advice 🤝
i'm with you. we need nostr maximalists keeping a foothold on X to help bring folks over here. it never made sense to me to completely cut off the legacy socials when they are full of the exact people we want to show the way to the promised land.

Dunno who, what or why. Don't care to finger point and have seen the opprobrium. It's just there as what appears an obvious situation that people should maybe meditate on. The only way centralization and protocol destruction will occur is better clients that are easy to onboard people to and people onboarding others but schisms will diminish adoption so erm well done all!
> schisms will diminish adoption so erm well done all!
Will they? The largest phases of adoption had people basically not criticizing Primal at all. Full koolaid mode. Primal, despite soaking up all the capital, got a very lower user retention rate. It was primarily focused on turning Nostr into a Lightning-based zap microeconomy so that people receiving LN investments could pretend that LN adoption is healthy, and LN is generally a disaster that nobody likes to use. Amethyst is now the most popular client on Android, and given the fact that far fewer people have ever been onboarded to it, it likely has orders of magnitude greater retention rates. Letting Primal get away with its shit for so long with no public criticism has been to the general detriment of Nostr, and, to my eyes, hurt growth and adoption greatly.
Also, people like drama. It’s entertaining. Before all the conflict I would log on every day and see people jerking off about how great Saylor is (he’s a worthless subhuman jerkoff and I hope he gets raped to death) and I would logoff. It was only until people started calling out the scammers that I found Nostr worthwhile. Funny enough, that’s when Odell decides that Twitter is better suited for him. It’s certainly a better environment for him to grift.
White society is based on intense public criticism and debate. From the Nordic-Germanic concepts of flyting and senna to the Celtic-Greco polémique, our civilizations are founded upon talking shit.
Sit back, was ch the memes and see how things evolve. At the end of the day, it's a protocol not a platform
Cringe
I feel like selling a handle that was available to the highest bidder is freemarket maxxing. 🤨

A small price to pay for salvation⚡️


Boooooooooooooo 😜
wow, its like i did not post my family line up to the 22nd grandfather
unlike you jewish bastard
your whole jewish identity stand on the premise that its okay if your mother is a whore
btw say hi to her
🥱 

Not sure how being present on a captured platform makes a difference.
why so angry yousif?
btw she says hi 👋
how is life in the refugee camp ?
hope rats not biting you
While you’re over there, see if you can bring back @npub1wwfr...gd3j. Nostr is a better place for musicians than it was when he was here a couple of years back.
Your feelings are dumb.
Taking advantage of people is bad person mentality.
Bad people make others want to use force for good.
Got suspended on X for no reason...(barely ever posted)..for "violating their rules.."😂 . And there is no customer support there, only bots, so there is no one to appeal to...After a month or so of trying to restore it, finally deleted the app...I couldn't even delete the account beacause it's under suspension..what a joke
🎯
He’s right. It doesn’t make all of you wrong. We are still in that awkward in between phase similar to Tesla needing / not needing a steering wheel and pedals.
Pay me a million dollars so I can make nostr better and be your enemy please


I was under appeal for 5 years. The lights are on but no one is home
For the same reason USD generally works better than BTC right now. The network effect.
Few people want the truth


Went to a no/lite kyc atm and they’re charging 101k for corn rn.
That being said, if you don’t want NGU and are a spedner, just use monero. They care about privacy not scarcity. #tailemissions #inflationbug
Atms are shitcoins. Try robosats, bisq, or a local meetup.
Are you blue checked?
How is it taking advantage if they left the platform ?
I’ve left the platform and he didn’t charge 50k for my account.
People that think immoral behavior is okay because that’s “freedom” are as bad as commies.
I love Nostr, and will always be here, but sometimes, You have to go where the ears are, otherwise, we're just in a circle jerk.
USD works great for those in charge, so I agree with the anology.
I just zapped myself 😅🤦♂️
ATMs are legit. I have used them and paid way above market but looking back I’m still way up so it doesn’t matter now.
lol
Agree entirely. Bulk of conversation re Beet on X is corrupted, steered, fanned. Good luck with any work there aiming to "steer convo back" - whole place feels like a socially-engineered rat lab. Sickening.
How do you shill #nostr without being shadow banned though? #asknostr
Appreciate the disclosure, but you’re basically seeking out mental health issues. Hope your family isn’t affected by your change in behaviour.
Is it even possible to stay humble in that space?!
X requires payment to relay your notes now btw, no pay no reach.
And they don't accept sats.
Echo chambers everywhere lol
Tell me BTC is in the shitter without telling me it’s in the shitter
Easy, @npub15dql...lm5m sells and @ODELL goes back to twitter
Buckle up boys
We should have a nip for selecting enemies. I want a different experience for "following" my enemies...
I for one am a big fan of Odell back on X.
I could go into all the debates on whether deleting an account is worth it, about network effects, etc. path dependence.
But people want to be where they want to be. And Odell is welcomed where he wants to be, and does good work wherever he is.
And you know how I know it’s really Odell on X? Nostr and social graphs, is how. 😉

Its very simple strategy, you use nostr and don't use x. It also works as a good detox, since less stuff hapens here, you spend less time on social media scrolling. Gather relevant bitcoin news, some memes and then so smth else in your day. Works great if you ask me.

You can only do that because so many of us go out of Nostr and bring information in and advertise Nostr elsewhere. If everyone was only-Nostr, nobody would ever find this place and Nostr would implode for lack of information.
Social media needs conduits. Even X can't survive without linking in and out to other social media.
Well majority of x posts also cite various sources and if there is no source people question if its real or made up since this network incentivise bs for revenue. So information very rarely starts to exist from x and in much more cases people just share it there. Same can be done on nostr, i see no difference. And you do not need x to so that imo.
You gotta do what you gotta do. Internet stranger opinion don’t mean anything. Frens understand and support anything you do.
i remember you saying the odellxyz Twitter account wasn't you.
the only healthy way to use that cesspit is to post and run. don't browse or engage with anything. it's a one way trip to delusion and unhappiness
