My point was at least in the case of Nostr.
Nostr can't be an open permissionless system that can gain traction if the network effects are designed for Bitcoiners only.
I simply used BCH as they're probably the most disliked group of people by BTC.
Mastodon, and Bluesky gain traction because they're more focused on a broader audience.
Hmm it's an interesting point. Well, are people able to get coin-agnostic or altcoin specific NIPs added to the NIP repo?
I hope so, it would be an interesting development.
If nostr is truly decentralized, there can be versions of it like this, whether or not it is added to the repo most people use for NIP specs. And nostr is truly decentralized. Ergo, someone can develop altcoin zaps for nostr. Whether or not it can be added to the main repo is simply then, assuming that nostr with altcoin zaps is defined as part of real nostr, the determining factor of whether the main NIP repo is the one true NIP repo.
Permissionless describes the protocol—no one can stop another user from using it to promote their scams. But no one can stop us from calling them out either.
I just think Nostr should encourage the crypto community at large to join because I think right now a lot of people are turned away from it since it can be an echo chamber at times.
Fiatjaf didnt create nostr for bitcoiners.
If you build it see what happens 🤙🏽
I don’t want scammers and their fucking airdrops here. Happy with not “gaining traction with a broader audience” if that’s what it means.
