I think I meant 'normies'. Cos that's usually the distinction I've often seen made on nostr. 'I buy bitcoin so I can't be a normie' type statements. But I think NPC and normie is sorta interchangeable here.

But yes, different programming. The normies here have an internal price of bitcoin clock hardwired in ;);););)

(That's not to say I don't people here lol, I think people are mostly cool and very nice on nostr lol. I don't want to poopoo nostr too much lol. I just think there are some silly points and the nostr meta is kinda of creating a certain replication of bitcointwitter culture, which I find tedious. Etc etc I am also a normie' etc etc)

We are told that Nostr is for Bitcoiners

So...

Fuck me,right?

There is definitely an element here who want and want to keep it as bitcointwitter. If you say you want something more/other, it's usually when some people say you should find somewhere else lol

But I genuinely want Nostr to succeed:)

This is the epitome of the issue with maximalism.

It's sort of mutated into something else on nostr lol, but it is probably derived from the same place. It's no just 'no shitcoinery' it's also a bit like bitcointwitter culture is the gold standard or the only standard to emulate or something (I genuinely think some people don't know wider twitter exists outside of BT). I don't know lol.

It's got a bit better. Until there's a price move, and then it's unusable and indistinguishable from bitcointwitter.

It's been ok lately, Christmas has helped, no big price moves also helps.

No real ecosystem has just one organism.

Bridges may help nostr somewhat, if/when implemented properly. Or at least add some random injections or topics.

It also means that you have other participants who are outside of the reach of the zap-reward meta system... thingum, which somewhat shapes the place.

I now see BTC as a sacraficial lamb, and so am fine with maximalism.

There's definitely some elitism and culty behavior, especially from certain unnamed nostr influencers.

I also find it interesting how you have so many people believing both X and Y when neither have anything to do with each other (example: X is bitcoin and Y is steak)

Or Y is carnivore diet makes more sense
