Iām totally not against brand-building. Heās running a business. Judge him as you wish. But balance the positives with the revenue-generating negatives. Heās given a platform to many a big bitcoiner. Heās given purpose to a number of talented but overlooked footballers. Yes, heās promoted some crap that sounded good at the time but hey, weāve all done that, especially those working in the marketing business. Things often go tits up later. I mean take Twitter. Jack built that. Heās liked but what is Twitter now? Elon was liked by many but now perhaps not so much. I say judge those by their activity, output and their personal
interaction. If Peter is all about self promotion then it will become evidently tiring after a while and perhaps this is where you are with him - also fair enough so just ignore rather than attack - but for me heās done enough to balance that with genuine questions about bitcoinās impact and influence as well as publishing personal battles with British banks (I can relate to that!) and even court cases with Faketoshi. If itās all crap, at least itās entertaining and I donāt feel the need bring him down for it.
I donāt think #[7]ā is questioning any of that. Seems like Pete is easily agitated and brings his twitter hostility across platforms. He seems like a chill dude in person though.
Defensiveness can be due to feelings of insecurity. Iām pretty sure what I said pales in comparison to some of the other things hurled at him on a daily basis. Iām not those people.
#[7]ā š« #[8]ā this is the nostr wayā¦

Like I said, I think he brings his argumentative Twitter attitude across platforms.
That said, I am one of āthose morons.ā A regular old pleb. Some of these inflooencers got some real attitude. But you know, theyāre healing the world and really the ones who are brining bitcoin to the masses. So we better kiss their arse.
If someone acts like a prick then Iāll speak to them like a prick.

Yep, I hear you and I like and follow #[7]ā so I was surprised by the response (Peter is still on Twitter so the agitation and Twitter hostility is still ingrained š) But I believe heās a decent bloke off the platformsā¦
Peter, Iām sure weād have a great chat over some beers and this will all be forgotten. Next drink at Pubkey is on me. š»
Donāt forget your face diaper. Peter is easily sniffled. Donāt let guys like him off the hook for that shit. He had an audience and defended the vaxx at all costs. Heās a cuck shit.
I defended free choice all the way.
All good man. Welcome back to Nostr. You do you. We all live our own truth.

In all seriousness, probably would be nice to have a chat over a beer or two. Often totally different to chat in person than on these platforms.

Dude just gave such a dick response. Gonna zap your post because what the hell. You extended the olive branch and all he had to do was š¤ and leave it alone. Speaks volumes.
Thanks man. I appreciate that. Anger is a bad emotion to hold onto.

Iām chill in person as people are chill in person. Nobody has the balls to talk in real life like they do on Twitter, if they did theyād be on their arse.
If people are hostile behind their keyboard then theyāll get called what they are. I meet people exactly how they ask to be met.

I have no argument with that. I really didnāt see what I said as trying to bring anyone down. I was genuinely puzzled at what āNostr firstā meant. Fine, Twitter fixed some of the things Elon broke, great. Functionality aside, it just sounds like because Nostr isnāt a revenue driver, itās not seen as important enough a platform for someone with such a public profile. Thatās fine, just say so. But retorting with personal insults is childish. I wonāt stoop to that level.
i think itās just naturally part of the way some people speak. like where iām from, here in southern california, many of us curse a lot & use āinsultingā words _casually_, if that makes sense. pretty sure many like in new york or england do the same.
