Hot take: Nostr took all the bitcoin enthusiasts off of the other platforms and isolated them together where their advocacy can't be heard anymore.
Discussion
Unless you played algo games to win algo prices it wasn’t being heard.
probably tbh
Haven’t scrolled Twitter/X in almost a decade, but if the Bitcoin subreddit is anything to go by all the signal was drowned out by NGU enthusiasts and propaganda bots long ago.
It feels like Nostr, which ironically is the friendliest to bots, is the only place to have real discussion anymore.
👀
I think people are busy building. And people just don’t want to listen so people are doing something more productive
that was obvious to anybody with a living brain cell
which is to say not to bitcoiners
i mean if they could figure that out they would also be able to figure out that the only source of value for bitcoin is their own money that they use to buy it
that is they are attempting to pull themselves up by the boostraps
you know, like Boomers say you should
LOL
bitcoiners thought they can be like us Jews by making their own money
except we print money out of thin air and lend it out at interest
bitcoiners buy their money using our money
after paying taxes on our money using our money to pay the interest on our money
subhumans ...
People can post on more than one place. If they're withdrawing to here and only here, they're not interested in advocacy, they're interested in protecting their worldview.
Everyone has heard of bitcoin by now. We are at the long tail of outreach and advocacy, there are diminishing returns. Like the bitcoin prophet said, paraphrasing, if you don't get it I don't have time to convince you. Anyone still not into it is only going to get into it when they realize they need it.
What worries me more is there's a bitcoin echo chamber and the people in it are increasingly disconnected from reality. It's not that their advocacy can't be heard, it's that they don't hear novel ideas anymore. The opposite problem, really.
Hotter take: Great civilisations/communities don't rely on weak communities to thrive.
