And Coinkite, of course. NVK is from Coinkite and sits with Odell on the OpenSats board. And one of the Ten31 board members is also a Strike board member.

The fact that Strike and Primal are financed by the same fund helps explain why they ended up so closely integrated in the app. Pablo has been hanging out with Odell, and now everyone from Primal is getting auto-redirected to his Highlighter app, to read long-form notes. This goes against the natural market, which tended to prefer Habla, or read the articles embedded in the Kind 01 apps.

Intertwined like a plate of 🍝. But, if you complain about the money bags dictating app development, you just get buried deeper.

And look at the OpenSats board. It's clearly a Bitcoin fund, not a Nostr fund.
