Take it however you like, but I'll remind everyone here that, once again, a Nostr thread has been turned into "bitcoin vs fiat" - just like every other conversation around here.

You people can't think of anything else. It occupies the deepest recesses of your mind.

its not necessarily the nostr tech but that the people that started nostr like #[11] are all into bitcoin and they pulled bitcoiners here first so that is a topic always on their minds, likely because they have or want to make money, bitcoin is a ponzi and the more in the higher the value, it can however serve as money and replace fiat but so can many things

The kind of money I use isn't worth wasting my precious time on earth thinking about, except to be wary of pitfalls and to try to choose the least awful situation.

I don't think an argument about whether dog shit or bird shit tastes better is really worth engaging in.

On the other hand, free speech is extremely important, and that doesn't have to require any special currency.

The people who serve mammon want to attach their currency (whether it be dollars or bitcoin or whatever) to literally everything, though, because they care about nothing other than getting rich quick without actually working.

Discuss any topic, and the people here will immediately discuss how they can do it with bitcoin.

"Oh cool, you went traveling? Yeah, I imagine someday we'll be able to travel without needing fiat, it'll all be bitcoin!"

"The weather is nice where you are? Yeah, I bet we could crowdsource more accurate forecasts by using bitcoin donations"

"Oh wow, that post you just made about was great, I really wish I could zap you right now but you don't have a wallet set up!"

Etc.

So it’s wrong to treat Bitcoin as a hobby even if it’s a financial revolution? You want to see “occupies the deepest recesses of your mind” go talk to some dedicated dungeons and dragons fans. Or dedicated sports fans. What’s wrong with having a dedicated community of Bitcoin fans? Does it ruffle your feathers that much people want to see actual change in the financial system? Shitcoins devalue Bitcoin as a brand and currency so it’s only natural Bitcoin maxis disagree with that core idea that is shitcoins even if some of them help bring innovation to Bitcoin that would otherwise take longer without them.

I don't care about bitcoin vs any other coin, it's all the same made-up currency, all pushed by the same grifters. And yes, dollars are also made-up. None of that is worth dwelling on.

I'm here to try to get at least some of you to wake up to the fact that you've replaced your entire personality, whatever it used to be, with bitcoin and stock charts.

do you not see nostr as a good potential social platform?

I see Nostr as Jack Dorsey's test subject for blue sky or w/e his next social media project is

no bluesky is different, its actually very similar to mastodon, nostr originated completed seperately from jack, jack has only just got involved and he is only having partial influence on design

#[12] has been quite open why he did bluesky and why he likes nostr, to sum it up no one person or entity should control this

It has a lot of potential, but the userbase is absolute F-tier trash in terms of having anything useful to say. I have not once seen a conversion in the wild here about

- God, the afterlife, the problem of evil

- Humanity and salvation (aside from saving it with bitcoin)

- Deranged conspiracy theories that actually have a lot of evidence

- Calling out lies of media (aside from lies about inflation/interest)

Or any other actually kind of interesting thing.

Just zaps all day, and people screaming that bitcoin is *so totally different* from all those other coins.

You know what it really needs?

More cowbell

That would be an improvement, actually

We also need to make Nostr the main place for Zyzz Supremacy 😎

less zap more cowbell

Bitcoin is in a way silly. However it’s just a lot less silly than anything else real-estate is unaffordable as an investment for a majority of people.

Shitcoins are just all inflated crap no different to NFT’s where they can be created and it never ends.

All fiat can is inflated to infinity.

Gold supply is dictated by it’s price.

I agree I would say there is Bitcoin maxis that treat Bitcoin like a cult rather than an investment or currency but if your gonna be in any cult it’s about the best cult you can be in. Doesn’t harm a single person but the traditional financial system and in the end you profit on the side. I’d even go as far to say it’s a better “cult” than Christianity 😉

People compare it to tulip mania but tulip mania was a bubble because tulips aren’t scarce it’s just common sense Bitcoin is truly scarce it written in the fundamental code.

No one has even done a successful attack on Litecoin yet and it runs on a inferior less secure POW algorithm. The chances of a Bitcoin attack ever happening and being successful are so incredibly small. Even if the CCP tried to attack BTC they’d be unsuccessful.

Bitcoin is real hard money every other currency in history beside precious metals are Monopoly money.

Look at this. Your brain is so steeped in currency that you can't step away from it.

I tell you that people here can't talk about anything other than cryptocurrency, no matter what kind, and then you go and prove my point.

What drives the price of bitcoin given that it can’t be spent on any real tangible goods?

No my brain is steeped in securing a future for my future family. God isn’t gonna do it for me. My boss isn’t gonna do it for me.

The only person who can create a life better than the one I grew up in for my kids is me. Pray all you want but you have to step up and build the life for yourself. Bitcoin not only secured my wealth it grows my wealth and that I can be guaranteed of. More than anything else at-least.

Bitcoin isn’t with 100% certainty but it’s the closest thing to it. Who am I gonna trust with my currency the government? A company in the S & P 500? Ha what a joke.
