I'm with you and nostr:npub1lqvv69u549atefvcyfht30lemlyvl9jnz4l7c6ejs20yzpq7hh7sjjfx0r that the hype around Nostr is a red flag. I completely stopped listening to almost all Bitcoin podcast because it was endless Nostr hype.

That’s interesting. I’ve noticed the same. A good portion of my #40hpw of listening is made up of my friends’ podcasts, with the rest being history, alternative history, religious, and agriculture content.

I don’t think we all get the 'feels' like we used to from socializing around Bitcoin and its adjacent themes, now that reality has set in for many of the Polyannists who claimed Bitcoin was more than a monetary tool. But people were addicted to the hopium, so they transferred their projections to NOSTR, yet alas, the same applies.

I’d like it if sometimes we never mentioned Bitcoin or NOSTR at all on our PMM show, but I understand many of the Meahtadelians are building on NOSTR and are heavily invested in the technology and I respect their work and vision. We’ll continue to cover what they’re working on and continue to support them, but physical PoW and IRL connections will always appeal more to me personally.

*my opinions here do not represent the Meshtadel or Ungovernable Misfits, this is my personal opinion, or as Mr. Crown would classify it as ‘A Misfit Rant’.

Most Bitcoin podcast are just Zoom calls to sell ads.

I spent 4 hours listening to this and laughing my ass off the whole time.

Also nostr:npub1f49twdlzlw667r74jz6t06xxlemd8gp2j7g77l76easpl8jsltvqvlzpez shared this quote awhile back that's really stuck with me when it comes to podcasting.
