Every platform or protocol has to start somewhere. Nostr was founded by and is being developed by hardcore Bitcoiners. It's obvious that it's going to attract more like minded folks. Plus, there's the fact that Nostr's ethos melds well with Bitcoin's ethos. Nostr is a screaming beacon of decentralized freedom, making all Bitcoiners eventually migrate to the protocol. Every platform or protocol needs a base. Wether it's Bitcoin maximalists or boating enthusiasts. Eventually, other groups of people start seeing it's benefits and start to check it out.

I've told Udi before and I'll say it again, bring your community here. Build here. The vast majority of Nostriches welcome new users.

Well put

That’s why I’m exploring it. We’re pretty good at mobilizing our community. But we need to be sure of it first. I’ve also tried Bluesky, mastodon, and I’ll be trying Zuck’s new thing on Thursday too. We’ll see

I haven't spent nearly as much time on those platforms as I have here, but I'll say that the choice seems obvious. You can build whatever you want here. It's beautiful. You can't say that about anywhere else.

Make an Ordinals focused client. That seems like it would be a dream for the JPEG gang. Right?

the freedom to build isn't the only consideration.

another consideration: how many people can you reach?

our community wants to reach more bitcoiners, and potential bitcoiners. it seems to me you can currently reach WAY more bitcoiners on twitter, and also on instagram etc, than on nostr

so i'm just not sure this is immediately useful for us

Mastodon is cool because it's bridged to Nostr thanks to nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6. Millions of users there who value decentralized technology but are mostly uninitiated with the key management and signing involved in Bitcoin and Nostr.

Bye

any thoughts on threads yet? have u tried it?

Udi is more then welcome here, not that it matters what we way. Nobody could stop him from joining.

Have you tried contacting HR? 🤣

Should we call the NOSTR CEO?

In all seriousness, I’m happy he’s here. I don’t agree with a lot of the things he says but I enjoy having perspectives like his around.

Every kingdom needs a few jesters.

Just a joke. Good to see you! To your credit, block 774628 was funny as fuck.

What we say* 🥸

Were the founding bases of prior networks of such a specific ideological demographic though?
