Who of y'all was around for the transition of the main #Bitcoin community from Reddit to Twitter?
what was it like?
I'm trying to understand our current transition from X to NOSTR
Discussion
What you want to know? How it was? It is still going. How is going? Id say prettty fucking good
lol those don't answer my question 🤣
It took time. Lots of overlap between the two. Lots of tweets posted to Reddit.
Eventually reddit became less and less relevant. Didn't happen overnight, but it did happen.
soooooooo do you see similarities now?
Not yet. Nostr is picking up but still niche. Twitter is still dominating, and I suspect will for quite some time.
Nostr reminds me of Bitcoin in 2012.
where was the Bitcoin conversation happening in 2012?
Bitcointalk forum, I believe.
Bitcointalk, Facebook, and New Hampshire.
so it wasn't like this?

It was way more autistic than that
Wait, people insist nostr isn't bitcointwitter2 lol...?
people insist?
Yes, humans. Sometimes bitcoin maxis are put and selfput outside the human ranks. Here in nostr they finally can get to get humbled.
lol wtf are you talking about
I talk about woodworkers. Painters. Dancers. Archeologists. Lawyers. Barbers. In general blue collar workers. They are realizing they have been scammed in the legacy social media and they arent whiling to let this place be bitcoin only. That is a good thing and is beautiful. Go to stacker news for a truly bitcoin only experience.
Lol. Yes when asked if nostr is by accident or design turning into bitcointwitter2, some people insist it is not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I suppose that is what some people are building tho, maybe?
quick! name three things that aren't bitcoin
I was there. It was a natural movement, most of the content in reddit started to come from Twitter, so it made sense to go directly to the source.
still a ways from that then, but you can tell the transition is coming
This is how they explained it.
