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.
Nice will!!
Websummit also doesnβt know about bitcoin either!
Source: the past 3 web summits I did panels with show of hand stuff.
Itβs such a strange marketing event.
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 π
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. πͺ
Great work @rabble, @jb55 & Harry
