Looks like #bitcoin users #nostr arr resistant to #monero discussion even existing on the platform.
Is this the way?

Guys come on.
If any altcoin isn't a shitcoin is Monero. It's PoW, ASIC resistant, has a real economy around it (try using Bitcoin on the darknet... they only accept XMR), and transactional privacy is a real use case.
Besides, don't we wanna encourage Nostr adoption beyond just bitcoiners? If you don't like Monero just don't join the community.

Narrator: it was the way
People don't fear arguments when they're confident they're going to win.
There is no ethical pro shitcoin argument
Nostr isn't a platform 🙄
I leave this here for you.
sawwy. Protocol
Eric Voskuil did a 3+ hour Twitter space talking about Monero. Does anyone have the link?
Here's his recent nostr podcast:

Not me; a Bitcoin user for over 10 years and I like having a bit of XMR in my bag. It’s rare to meet a pure maxi IRL, even though they seem so prominent on social media.
You're almost there. How could bitcoiners resist you use a protocol? We can only resist personally interacting with you on said protocol, which is a logical response 🤷♂️
Thanks! Have you read Cryptoeconomics?
Heading down that rabbithole, lol.
"Cryptoeconomics applies rational economic principles to Bitcoin, demonstrating flaws and unnecessary complexities in them, and in common understandings of Bitcoin. It will improve your understanding of both. Bitcoin requires a new, rigorous, and comprehensive discipline. This is it.'
Taken from the Preface....
Glad to see another community taking root on here.
I organized the chapters here: https://github.com/captain-stacks/cryptoeconomics/wiki/Table-of-Contents
that's a good point. same anecdotal experience for me
Nostr has censorship. Only need to convince servers not to relay the messages of "the ideologically pure Bitcoin maxi"
A nostr relay can censor. That doesn't mean you can be censored from the protocol...
Partial censorship is still censorship. Otherwise people would have no issue with shadow banning
Hold up... You really don't see the difference between being shadow banned on a centralized platform and being blocked from a relay? Holy shit
They can't deal with the fact that the glorious Monero is superior
Nostr is full of $btc Maxis. Maxis are folk that can't handle competition and would probably get the government to outlaw all competition if they ever got the government's ear. There are a lot of shit coins but it's the individuals choice if they want to buy it. I think some of the alts, what they call shit coins, even have valid use cases like Monero and Ethereum. And I think BTC should adopt some of the LTC features. Anyhow I also have gripes with those as well. But then again I also have issue with BTC.
The equivalent of the btc maxi exists on the monero side so I guess there's that. Tribalism go figure.
