Groups and communities can be positive energy or negative— can’t there be memes for good?

I know that is unrealistic— it’s easier to tear people down than build communities up, how can we make nostr more up building by default?

Yeah. Absolutely. But when you really look memes today … the vast majority of them are essentially delineating an in-group from out-group. Even bitcoin memes! There’s generally an enemy that’s being signaled out, and mocked.

It’s not just “All Your Base Are Belong to Us” anymore. To take a phrase from the culture war, memes in this sense, have become yes … virtue signals.

So how do you convey Bitcoin knowledge? Face to face conversations?? Get outta here! 🤣🤣

I would love more intellectual conversations on bitcoin, that don’t shy away from uncomfortable and challenging topics. I wish there were more intellectually honest debates around everything!
