Nostr Web Client

I think we need more Bitcoin talk, but also less Bitcoin talk at the same time. We need more Bitcoiners, but we also need more non-Bitcoiners. And since Bitcoiners only make up a small portion of the online conversations happening elsewhere, as Nostr grows, the Bitcoin conversions will fall into their own smaller community corners. Someone has to be first and right now, it's us.

You right and to be clear I’m not saying we should keep people out. It’s just that in my experience trying to get my people onboarded it’s the initial cold water plunge into the bitcoin community that is preventing a lot of people from sticking with it.

I’m just saying we should be sensitive to this and other kinds of feedback in order to create a space for normies to try building out their communities and stick around instead of indoctrinating them into the whole freedom! freedom freedom right off the bat…

I agree wholeheartedly here. New people join and a bot tells them to get a lightning address if they don't have one and a dozen other people tell them to setup a lightning address so that they can get zapped. It's not bad, it's just that the enthusiasm is a little bit much for some people. I would rather have bitcoin enthusiasm than no enthusiasm though.

Know what kind of bar you're entering and adjust your expectations accordingly. nostr:nevent1qqs84kglgyrankyf2p4shvdvtt4uhjhyqd57e08ekl5rcag0l25ulagpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7q3qdergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsxpqqqqqqz59nyjp

This analogy is hilarious and accurate. I've been to a gay bar with friends and stayed there all night 🥹 I knew what I was getting into beforehand and had a great time.
