The other day I tried to purple pill a dev on Fiverr.... My project is over, but today he popped back in with questions...

Help, lol.

How do you purple-pill peeps?

I think he just means the UI - but you’re right, what client is he using?

Would avoid referring to support from people, as it’s not relevant - protocol stands on it’s own merits, regardless of support.

Agreed, just trying to get away from the "it looks like a pyramid scheme", which was his reply when I first mentioned it. Now days later, project closed and over, he's asking questions..... Don't know where to start.

Kinda like Bitcoin, the longer you're in, the harder it is to explain to someone with zero knowledge.

Bitcoin Network - The internet for money.

Nostr - Like TCP? Does that track if they understand internet for money?

I start there and build on the fringes of what they know.

A dev really should know protocols though. LOL

He's probably looking for an angle to offer to help with your social media platform project

I linked him to bounstr and I think that's what made him think it's a ponzi, lol.

Haha, and I'm looking for the angle to otange-pill him, he said his taxes are doing a 3X in 2024. Romanian.

Me you are a dev, you can make it do anything you want it to do.

Starting by saying that nostr is still in development might help
