Nostr Web Client

To be honest, Bitcoiners are one of the kindest, nicest, welcoming people I have ever met - & I’ve met leaders who are changing the world & have a strong head on their shoulders

Even so, there are a big chunk of Bitcoiners, that are douchy & extremely arrogant, unwelcoming, toxic, & point-blanc/fanatical. It’s a male-dominated world, much like all the industries I’m involved in.

It would be a nightmarish hell if Nostr was Bitcoin talk non-stop 24/7. Now, things are exciting, & new… but you are 💯 right. This protocol needs non-Bitcoiners.

Completely agree. Were you a bitcoiner before you got here?

Yes, actually, I was.

I took pleasure in being open to learning more from Bitcoin maxis with more expertise, but I was treated like I am not.

There was a time where some developers accused me of being “highly sus,” & one major one even asked me “why are you even on Nostr?” in a very hostile way, as if I don’t belong here or have an ulterior motive - extreme paranoia.

How is hostility perceived via text? I’m still learning in this area

“What are you even doing on Nostr?”

Can you read between those lines?

“Nostr is for Bitcoiners.”

How about that?

If not, you’ll need someone else to explain.

I don’t know. I don’t feel threatened or uncomfortable with what I just read on my phone screen.

Everyone’s different, though

You don’t feel uncomfortable when people refer to you as “highly suspicious?”

You don’t feel uncomfortable when someone wants to talk about Bitcoin 24/7 & you don’t?

Start at #Bitcoin and let convo flow from there. #Bitcoin is a great starting point.
