millions of dollars wasted on building ‘twitter killers’ that have their own token and ‘use blockchain’ then nostr rolls into town and proves they were all just bullshit vc money grabs

And billions on twitter 44 to be exact 🤧

Once we get something similar to spaces on nostr, I am done with twitter.

$44B 🤣

Could of moved to notes and sent a few tweets with #nostr

Musks next move will be to add gif pfp

Agreed, but nostr still has everything to prove and much to be figured out. Once the real traffic arrives, bots and all, it will be interesting to see how _and if_ nostr will be able to handle that….without enduring the same fate as email

It's a legitimate worry and I feel the same way. But email, in spite of all the spam and problems, is still widely used. Standards like DKIM, SPF, DMARC have mitigated those issues. I feel like nostr's path will be similar to SMTP as a protocol.

DKIM, SPF and DMARC all serve to prevent account spoofing, which isn’t a problem for Nostr and it’s priv/pub keys. The real problem is the opaque structure of mail providers, each with different spam filter mechanisms and preferential treatment towards “safe” origins (gmail, apple, microsoft, aws ses, etc…) encouraging a closed system

Yes, I agree. My analogy to SMTP was along the lines of "simple, open standard, with problems, but addressed over time due to things like DKIM. It doesn't need to be perfect from the start. Problems are solved over time". That's what I was trying to convey.

damn right

sad

Reminds me of Bitcoin 🤔!

always has been

💯

The best ideas have been made open source and free. Firefox, Bitcoin, now Nostr. I’m sure there are better examples but there’s my favorite thriple

Thank god.

🎯

I like how it’s just a protocol, anyone can go out and build an app out of it Damus is just one example that .ninja thing gotta check it out too

Fiat mindset.. toxic

FR though. Nothing that needs doing actually needs its own token, except money itself, and for that we already have Bitcoin. Everything else can just integrate Bitcoin, because it's open and permissionless for all.
