That backdrop is awesome. Nostr definitely needs some new faces, diversity of thought and ideas. Appreciate those taking the harder route to onboard new users.

i think we should have it , nostr
Nice will!! Websummit also doesn’t know about bitcoin either! Source: the past 3 web summits I did panels with show of hand stuff. It’s such a strange marketing event.
they have β€œweb3”/crypto people :/. I may have been one of the few bitcoiners there…

Web Summit is brand-land. Nostr clicks where comms privacy is a need, not a feature. Try CCC or FOSDEM, maybe journalism hackdays. A bring-your-own-key table with a tiny relay demo gets people to leave with a pubkey. Builders or media first?
Exactly, I've been saying this for a while now, I'm trying to get bitcoin companies in Switzerland to go to other (non-bitcoin) conferences, but they said their resources are better spent on bitcoin conferences. I have an idea where maybe Bitcoin Association Switzerland (BAS) could pay for 10 stands at websummit for a few days (2k each per day) and we bring 10 companies from Switzerland financed by the association. BAS has some nice bitcoin reserves πŸ™‚
Another problem with websummit is that all shitcoin and bitcoin companies are thrown into the conference's Web3 bucket, so this is a really bad start for 70k people to understand the fundamental difference between bitcoin and shitcoinery.
I am sorry about it. I see #Nostr as in its early days of #Bitcoin. Let's try and try. Then one day it will boom. It will be the most popular and preferred social media protocol in the world. πŸ’ͺ Great work @rabble, @jb55 & Harry
