I wonder what % of nostr notes are about Bitcoin ☺️

Too many percent.
Do some more karaoke bids 🇬🇧🚒😎
We're counting on you to bring balance to the network. No pressure!
They’re pretty much indivisible at this point😂 https://v.nostr.build/x5sxKDjbQsjXx1gw.mp4
Infinity +1
Huh, that's really interesting that ETF approval is way higher than 100K.
Really? Bitcoin x is all about ngu and a lot of tradfi is also on x so that combo makes that spike make sense to me
Here Bitcoin is everywhere. In science graphs, personal stories, spam letters, abstract memes and every single freaking GMs. All of this about Bitcoin.
I'll take an educated guess that 110% of the posts on NOSTR are about #Bitcoin
The difference is probably that "Nostr mentions of bitcoin" makes a horizontal line all the way across. Price doesn't matter. 😂
High 80s.
It'd technically be possible to pull them... but the compute to calc through it would be insane. Basically:
- Use fiatjaf/nak's --from and --untill
- Query a HUGE list of relays - possibly in parallel
- Feed the resulting JSON into a local database, use the ID as PK to avoid dupes. You may as well make both .content and .id unique...but that might stretch too far. So stick to .id, it's safer.
- Now, with all those events in, run text indexing on the database and finally: SELECT COUNT(id) FROM notes WHERE content LIKE "%bitcoin%" OR WHERE content LIKE "%btc %"; (obviously a rough sketch, but you get the idea).
Storing those notes is not the problem, <100GB would be my estimate, if you straight up filter kind 1 (-k 1). Probably less...
The compute of indexing is the harder part and might take a hot minute...or, multiple. o.o
So, yes, you can totally do it. Nostr do be open like that =)
As we continue exploring all the different rabbit holes, we just see through our laser eyes and posting will be more implicit about bitcoin over time
