Sorry lol

Sometimes the self-referential soapboxing gets too much for me.

Bitcoin is this

Nostr is this

Blah blah blah

Think you might have made anti-nostr/btc your posting archetype. 🤔

On nostr, I don't post like this on twitter (even when I did post there more). I see maybe 2 or 3 posts a year about Bitcoin on twitter tho, so I don't have this reaction.

Most people will have this reaction tbh. But sensibly, they just leave lol

Something in there about being so averse to something that it becomes part of your identity & being the change you want to see in the world

but i'm too dumb to untangle it, so enjoy the semi crypticness of it all 🙂

I don't really see it as part of my identity at all tho. I don't speak like this irl, because no one says the price of Bitcoin or a Bitcoin slogan every 4 seconds.

It's a very normal reaction to nostr.

What is abnormal is staying, I grant you that. But I am still waiting to see if nostr becomes a thing.

I

Please don't go!

Kinda nailed it there ha. Though I do find it entertaining and creative most of the time.

Did people use to buy soap in a box? I always wondered where the whole soap box thing came from? I mean why not use a milk crate, you know?

Actually I think this was a very valid criticism on Nostr, but now Nostr isn't nearly as much about Bitcoin as it used to be.

Much content is still about Nostr itself, but that's not necessarily as big an issue and is also true of other platforms, although to a lesser extent.

Wait till the price changes dramatically again. Especially up. Then nostr becomes totally unusable.

But even now this would be too much for most people, especially if they've signed up with a client (like primal) which gives them 100 bitcointwitter auto follows.

Bitcoin is like a thing

If you don’t know, you are an elephant with trunk cancer.

I am doing it right?

It's still not as bad as it used to be. The price didn't need to change.

It was all "Nostr, Nostr, ZAP ZAP ZAP. ZAP!!!! Lightning. The future, this is the future. Signal, not noise. ZAP! Bitcooooooooooooooin. Freedom tech (from an Apple device). BE WEIRD, BE WEIRD, BE WEIRD! Pictures of lasers from eyes. AI-generated slop. Bitcoin!!!".

Lolol it's definitely better than this now, but it's still approx 40000% more than on any other social media. This is still how someone 'off the street' would see nostr.

Other social media are bad in other ways.

The issue is Nostr actually needs to be *better*. Not just on the same level.
