To me, it’s becoming clear: the hub for Bitcoin discussion and community is shifting towards NOSTR.

There are still a ton of Bitcoiners on Twitter, and a lot of good information there, but the momentum and directionality are undeniable.

From what I understand, the Bitcoin community has always evolved its home base. It started on cypherpunk mailing lists, moved to Bitcoin Talk forums, then Reddit, then Twitter. Now it’s moving to NOSTR.

It would be crazy to think the right place for discussion and collaboration wouldn’t change over time. Blame Elon if you want for pushing Bitcoiners away from Twitter, but I think NOSTR was going to win regardless. A free, open, and customizable platform is just a better fit for this community.

What makes NOSTR special is the people—the super early adopters who’ve built something amazing here. Over the last two years, I’ve watched the growth in both the community and the quality of the experience. It’s been incredible to see.

Zaps have become the standard, and the momentum is clear.

The hub for Bitcoiners has always evolved, and now it’s NOSTR’s time.

Long throughout note + this picture is 🤌

🤣😂💀

my work here is done

I only keep my twitter for non-bitcoin stuff at this point

it just keeps getting harder to keep the noise out of my feed

The more reach (followers) you have on Twitter, the more noise on your timeline/worse experience. I’ve seen many big users say this has been the case for them. That 2k ish and under is peak user feed, but much less reach. Nostr literally fixes this.

interesting.

I've mostly just noticed having to trim my feed aggressively every few weeks with algorithm tweaks. annoying to have to keep doing

Just a few days here and I clearly see the momentum. The picture is not fully clear though 😂😂

directionality

Honestly, I wish I arrived much sooner. I haven't even been here for six months, yet.

you're here now and that's what matters

It’s inevitable

always

Well said!

A meaningful post coupled with a dog taking a shit, and doesn’t loose its value

It’s pretty clear where the 🔥 is at

A post so good. you couldn't even write a haiku about it

ya can’t fuck with perfection 👌

Alright. I couldn’t help myself.

I’m going to name it

“The NOSTR Prop”

A meaningful post

With a dog taking a shit

Doesn’t loose value

#haiku

THATS A HAIKU!

I think it’s great that more people are discovering NOSTR.

Just in case another virus leaks and we’re forbidden to think again, you know 😉

If I'm writing a comment does that mean I'm onboarded to Nostr? I've followed some bitcoiners, added some relays, got an address and added a lighting wallet. is there anything else I need to do?

I did an introductory post and doesn't seem to have been seen. I've seen others intros and they are clearly seen...what could this be?

I just skipped X altogether and delved right into NOSTR. Better crowd here.

agree

Beautiful image.

thx 🧡

p!ss

one day — sh!t

the next

(not about the content, just the photos)

I have a specific set of skills

thanks for posting a dog doing it and not you

😇🤙🤣

that's a line I won't cross 🤝

Agree. I’m definitely working on becoming X free.

there's value in both

I’m ex X

In light of the kind of censorship that happened on bitcointalk, reddit, and xitter, it’s pretty clear that we need a censorship resistant method for whenever and however the next civil war develops.

💯

an important likelihood to prepare for

Agreed.

🤌🍷

The sommelier tasting this batch: “I taste hints of dog excrement. Possibly a black lab.”

FERTILIZE

Never used my X account. Never used Social Media actually at all besides consuming: reading. Due to zaps and how Nostr generally works I am inspired and already engaged 1000 Times more. And I havent even started tbh :)

Give me your top tips plz!

No shit!

I don’t want your apples. 😂

you don't like fertilizer?

Why not. Probably not much different from cow manure.

Nostr is the way for bitcoiners

As a new Nostr user, how exactly do you find these discussions tho? I don’t see a ton of bitcoin/crypto talk in my feeds and am unsure how to find it

Start following, commenting and interacting

as cam said, you'll find it.

if you use primal, a lot of the top posts in the trending feed are by Bitcoiners.

I don't think you'll find much crypto talk tho

Search for # bitcoin (without the space), and start following people that use that tag. Look at who they follow, and who follows them, and add those people.

If your feed gets crappy, take note of which users have a bad signal/noise ratio, and quit following them.

For people that add value, look at who they follow, etc.

WE DO NOT HAVE ALL THE BITCOINERS YET BUT WE HAVE THE BEST ONES.

absolutely. the rest will come

Really? Am I a BEST ONE?

We also don’t have the worst ones

If they are still on X at this point, are they really a pleb? Or just a rent seeker?

🐐

Good point

TGFN - Thank God For Nostr

my brain put the f word in there

GFY - Good For You

and thank God for fuckin nostr

TGfFN 💜

Why no blue check super imposed under doggy?

I don't have those skills, but would LOVE that

I'm no artist either but here's my effort with a little steamy smokey type effect. Am pretty sure my minor efforts could start a little competition amongst the more talented nostriches.... let's see

well done sir

My pleasure. Wonder if the skimpy bit could be animated for a gif?

Love nostr typos. Smokey. There ain’t no skimpy there

Hopefully the ✔️ is in the bag 😂

Im still looking for bitcoiners to follow on here

Same

follow the people I follow or some of them

I pretty much only follow bitcoiners

😂

No one even talks about Samourai here

Where’s the 2nd100k BTC breakthrough party at?

2nd? 35th

Do all those count?

who's counting?

I bet J Pow is

think he can count that high?

That dude is smarter than he looks just corrupted to his bones

Update:

True. It always was about running it yourself.

Té tot el sentit del món que els espais de debat i conversa dels defensors de la forma de diner més sobirana i descentralitzada sigui a un protocol sobirà i descentralitzat. Aquesta vegada, gairebé 2 anys després d'apropar-me, ho veig clar. Construïm comunitat! 💪

nostr:nevent1qqsqzncyz5nfx5q3su3tuzllv37d0q536qe2r5cqh44tf77s9u8a98gpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchsyg9yfk7f4234w9m20484cvgxs3h2p94kdhst2rhrntl4fw4td39lfvpsgqqqqqqs7ha2tz

Yo Twitter me lo dejé antes de la llegada de Elon, era un ambiente insano.

Aquí solo encuentro gente positiva que coincide en gusto, pinto de vista y actitud.

Un placer poder aprender y disfrutar tanto con todos vosotros, que ya somos, nostr os

THE WAY 👊🫂⚡️

🫶🧡

Where do you find the best communities and information on NOSTR?

I’ve been here a while and find it harder to navigate, slower, etc.

I’d like to spend more time in here but specifically on signal and less noise.

Any advice for doing so on NOSTR?

how many clients have you tried? switching it up is eye opening every so often.

follow A TON of people. your follower to followee ratio being "good" is only killing your experience

Thanks

Just Damus and Primal.

I have to agree.

Still on X but missing things like Zaps, Elon blocking bitcoin is also nothing good.

having a foot in both camps is totally the move rn

Hi Ben I’m here and listening and learning. I’m also VIP member at Sportclips and tip in Zaps 🦾

nice!

It's good to see more Bitcoiners are shifting over here to NOSTR.

PS: The pooping dog makes your arguments valid. 🤣

any "smart" analysis needs some comedic relief

Makes sense. I often go to the toilette but I'm not sure if I didn't some great before or I'm doing something great on the toilette. 😂
