It started with Bitcoiners. They were naturally the first to see the utility in Nostr. It will continue with every marginalized group that has ever been shadow banned or overtly banned from mainstream social media. Whether it grows beyond that will depend on how good the clients get. Most people don't care about censorship resistance, they just want a flashy UX and interaction with all their friends and fam.

I guarantee the bitcoin ppl are going to start calling for censorship once ppl start posting the n word. You’re right tho, they don’t care about censorship resistance despite claiming to.
It's a new world where anybody can say anything and you have to take personal responsibility for how you react to it.
They have been doing that since the beginning, but those voices don’t get amplified here. It takes more effort for less reward to sustain being an asshole than it does to just be a decent person.
Assholes don't get zapped.
“Hey Nostr mods, this racist fascist thinks there should be free speech online, please ban”
"Nostr mods" 🤣
Hilarious that the poor bastard thought there was anybody moderating this shit show.
It wouldn’t bother me so much if it wasn’t so hypocritical of the crypto ppl.
I'm eagerly awaiting the .eth crowd to migrate over here so we can start calling them out on their bullshit.
Do you think tribalism in crypto is a good or a bad thing?
What crypto people think of as tribes is mostly the product of marketing.
I think it's irrelevant. Ignore the cultish behavior and focus on the technology.
Insofar as it relates to #Bitcoin vs “Crypto”, it is important and necessary. No one should be fooled into thinking they are one and the same.
Tribalism between crypto projects is irrelevant (to me, at least).
I’m not a crypto fan, but eth is definitely worse than bitcoin.
There is only one other cryptocurrency that I use besides Bitcoin, and that is Monero.
Vitalik was like, “What if we made a copy of bitcoin, removed all the best properties, and its only use case will be to create scams?”
