Many people external to Nostr perceive it as a single community of "crypto" or Bitcoin lovers.

People inside Nostr also feel like they're in a very warm and friendly "community" too.

One perception probably reinforces the other, and both damage the idea of Nostr as a neutral, open protocol that can accommodate any type of community.

I'm sorry, I'm a Bitcoiner 😞

I can leave NOSTR if that would help 😂

Yeah…

Personally I’m hopeful that one of nostr’s top accomplishments can be enabling use cases and functionalities for bitcoin.

I’m not technical but from what I heard blossom servers could also be a cool (tweet-unrelated) tool offered to independent artists and companies…. By independent artists/engineers and companies.

Nostr seems like a great protocol for people making things others need meeting people needing things other people make.

I got involved in a similar project in 2011 called Space Monkey, they sold out to a larger company who suppressed the technology so it wouldn't compete.

Things eventually emerge again:
