When we mention decentralization as one of Nostr's favorable properties, many people immediately think about "cryptocurrency". Their mind goes to scams, rug pulls, charlatans, and "crypto bros" - all the negative aspects of the cryptocurrency world.
Thanks, Shitcoiners!
Why does a U.S. presidential candidate have crypto and a token? š
Because he's a scammer.
If only #Nostr was built on top of Ethereum or Solana it would be so much better!
Then we could all gather in Discord and discuss how and when to reboot Nostr. How cool... š¬
Yeah, the Turkish dude in my welcome note was immediately able to share a rugpull story, which happened to one of his buddies, after telling him about my idea to tip him in Bitcoin...
It's a branding problem. Maybe just saying zaps fixes this, but then we need more branding changes for "zap wallets" instead of Lightning wallets š
Do you have one main argument as to why nostr is superior to mastodon and bluesky? (You donāt need to convince me, Iām just looking for ammunition for those discussions when they come..)
Decentralization means backdoors, weak links, and no accountability these days.
Canāt hate without love
I would ditch the term completely when talking with normies. We need to sneak these things into their food supply without them knowing it. I would say "nostr is designed to outlive any person or company"
Thatās funny, I was just thinking this on the flight home, listening to PCR and trying to think of a new word.
