Subnostr

An important question for #nostr is why/how do non-bitcoiners and non-crypto enthusiasts end up here? How does it break the network effect of other social media platforms?

Even if they don't like Elon's Twitter, their friends aren't here, so why come?

My hope is that in the coming months the ecosystem will mature, the annoying quirks ad glitches will get ironed out, the resources for onboarding will get better and better, and it won't feel to newcomers like Nostr is just a place for Bitcoiners. Because - and maybe it's just my filter bubble - it feels like a place for bitcoiners. Even when I spend a bit of time in global it feels that way. #[0]

I hope so too. I can get behind the enthusiasm for Bitcoin but I personally don't want to talk and read about it allll the time.

Consider - one day everyone will be a Bitcoiner 🤷‍♂️

Maybe. But even then, they'll probably to talk about other things besides bitcoin. Breaking the network effects of current sm platforms will require lot's of different communities to come to nostr. #[2]

Not necessarily. One day everyone will likely use Bitcoin, but that doesn’t make one a Bitcoiner. Just because grandma’s phone runs over the internet doesn’t mean she’s a web surfer, ya know?

Right.
