Joe rogan was like: “how would you deal with [cryptographic verification] on social media”.
Andreessen: “you need blockchain”.
He mentioned nostr and doesn’t even get it🤦♂️
Discussion
Oh well 🤷
He’s shilling his crypto scams. Shitcoin incentives.
I remain surprised he mentioned nostr.
Other than selling shitcoins did try to explain why a "blockchain" is needed ?
At least he mentioned cryptographically signing messages.
But yea, not surprised he's championing blockchains given his investment portfolio.
Block 1
Block 2.
Block 3.
Block 4
Block 5
The longest chain!
The chain I'm in has more work. It's the heaviest chain that matters!
Ooo we should be doing PoW notes for this
Now that's an idea.
It took me a while because I screwed the threading for a note and only found that after getting a valid pow lol
Andreeesseeen on about Block 8 considering how many unnecessary extra letters he has in his name. Plus he looks like an actual penis.
Block 3
(Solve this fork now, I dare you!)
Block 4
If we use NIP3 opentimestamps on our chain, we have a better claim in the future for being canonical
Block 4
We declare this the true Block nostr:nprofile1qqsr7acdvhf6we9fch94qwhpy0nza36e3tgrtkpku25ppuu80f69kfqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7x08grv Vision
Oof
"The Age of the Feuilleton"
classic. Maybe we’re going to have another round of blockchain, blockchain, blockchain..
He must ‘get it’, but wants the masses to be captured on something other than…
NOsTr Happening
Just lol
He can’t pump $200M into nostr for a 10x.
So, put it on the blockchain, baby!
Well rogan loves "brave browser" so I'm sure he will learn about nostr soon enough.... Why don't you message him on twitter or Instagram? What do you got to loose? Nothing.
Scamdreessen
Blockchain is exactly one thing you don’t need!
Why care what mainstream media talking heads think?
Translation: “They need my VC tokens.”
Listening to them stumble across and butcher the handling of Nostr MULTIPLE times really killed me.
Especially when Marc referred to nostr as "Jack's thing, Jack's third attempt". I felt bad for fiatjaf (and outraged for him, too).
why do people who well versed in nostr take issue with people who aren't ?
This is a bad look and is not productive in my opinion.
Then some wonder why more people aren't on nostr.
Its not user friendly to get going and then once you do over half the notes are talking about nostr.
This all needs to change in my opinion for nostr to be on par with X or even Gab, mastadon or that blue cry thing.
Great take. Same problem with bitcoin.
Interesting bc JB has done a lot to make Nostr user-friendly by coding Damus.
People can’t be all things though! Lord knows developers aren’t great marketers 😜
Andreeseen is not some Marcus Aurelius figure, but he forsure understands what hes doing. also Joe Rogan is kindof a moron at this point
He made it sounds like it was a pet project of jack’s and he was the CEO 😆
