Welcome to nostr! You’ll find we’re generally a pretty friendly and engaged bunch.

Bitcoiners on Twitter may get a bad rap (but then again, Twitter incentivized everyone to behave badly). On nostr, we’re here to build and play and share things we care about — Bitcoin included.

Many of us have dabbled in (or been repeatedly wrecked by) “crypto” stuff, and have spent hundreds of hours studying why Bitcoin specifically has the potential to help solve some of the world’s most systemic issues.

So if we sometimes seem curmudgeonly, know that it’s usually coming from a place of wanting to fix the world and just wishing everyone else would get on board a bit faster.

Perhaps more than you were looking for, but for an introduction it felt fitting.

Enjoy nostr, and let’s get you set up with a Lightning address so you can experience the awesome feeling of strangers on the internet sending you Bitcoin ⚡️⚡️⚡️
