Nostr Web Client

Why aren't altcoiners moving to Nostr?

They're used to bribing centralized entities to integrate their coin. Exchanges list them, websites cover them, wallets add them. Even Twitter has the NFT profile pics. But they can't do that on Nostr.

And further, the Lightning integration means they have to use Bitcoin! The sad fact is that for all their developers, altcoins don't have anything like lightning. And they know if they come here, they're going to need to convert some of their stash.

It'll be fun to watch the VCs try to downplay Nostr's significance as they try to protect their bags. But it won't work. An actual decentralized network is forming and their centralized crap won't work here.

Let them have centralized platforms. Decentralized money belongs on a decentralized platform.

this is the bitcoiner version of web3 tards saying ‘we’re gonna build uber on the blockchain’.

nostr is great, but nothing mentioned here is true. don’t encourage neojournalist blowhards

cheap, sensationalist talk like this has always been amplified by twitter and tiktok, like the media have always done too (as mentioned above).

the incentives can be different on nostr- we don’t need this, do better

i do have altcoiner mutuals from twitter that are here (that i didn’t bring myself), i see a lot i didn’t know too, particularly amongst the japanese/chinese users i follow.

and if they want to have NFT pfps like twitter they’ll be able to on their own client. if they wanna integrate shitcoins, im sure they could if they generated enough traction for an idea

nostr isn’t Bitcoiner’s plaything

It is for the time being, and so what of it is? Like he said they don't want to come here because the incentives don't line up. Let them stay close to the nipple as we push the envelope. Information is always seeking to be free, it will find a way through, around or over.
