Nostr Web Client

I’m reminded of a sales tactic called “negative selling,” where you tell the prospect all the reasons they shouldn’t buy. It’s a way of calling their bluff with regard to their objections—the reasons they’re stalling or saying no. More often than not, they quickly fold and ask to continue the buying process.

But it’s not just a sales tactic. It’s smart product strategy. If a product is for everyone, then it’s really for no one.

This has become my approach to nostr naysayers. “No problem. Freedom’s not for everyone.” And it isn’t. Human history tells this story over and over.

So, stick with Twitter. Or Facebook. Or whatever. Freedom’s not for everyone. nostr:note1hptklflt7sl92rsws4u6s2mfl26tmq6myc3dpuejy3kml3tq5zxqaahfnn

Well said, Shawn. I love the “freedom isn’t for everyone part.” It seems like such a challenge.

It is also very apt. I discuss Nostr and/or bitcoin with people and it can seem like such a no brainer for me, yet I must need to work on my sales pitch a bit, because it does not seem to land as often as I would expect.

Maybe this is the retort for me! 😂

It’s hard getting people to care about issues when they don’t want to acknowledge that there are issues. Can’t even count how many times I’ve been told by people they don’t need bitcoin because dollars work fine.
