Nostr Web Client

I think a Bitcoin-Nostr dude and a Monero-Nostr dude have more in common,

Than a Bitcoin-Nostr and Bitcoin-Twitter guy.

Because if you're on Nostr, you gotta figure the person is much more likely to also be doing circular economics, Linux, DeGoogled phones, privacy, and has liberty-minded political beliefs.

While as there are so many Bitcoiners on Twitter just gambling on price, with no other awareness of what Bitcoin even originally solved.

You may hate to admit it, but Nostr's bond (and culture) is stronger than fighting over which currency.

Feels accurate to me

I can agree with that.

ODELL 10mo ago

YES

MONEY IS A TOOL FOR DEALING WITH PEOPLE YOU DON'T TRUST. THERE IS MORE TRUST AMONG NOSTR USERS WITH DIFFERENT CURRENCIES THAT BETWEEN NOSTR AND TWITTER USERS

Nostr’s like a clubhouse for people who read the whitepaper. Bitcoin-Twitter’s just a hype machine with a side of FOMO.

m0xie 10mo ago

Agree

Sun of the Moon 10mo ago

Yes, because if we wait long enough there will only be bitcoin.

Yes for gods sake we can accomplish much more together. BTC and XMR go together like bread and organic grassfed irish butter.

Bitcoin-Twitter people are the worst of the worst. Zero respect. 100% statists and NGU culture.

100% agree. Nuances. I recommend to hold and use both.

Bitcoiners value verifiable and limited supply more.

Moneristas value default privacy and long term incentives for CPU miners more.

Other than that we work on the same goals and projects.

I'll always choose arguing on nostr about freedom tech over arguing on twitter about the 48 hour news cycle. Every time.

Agreed, and there is also the fact that at least on one side of that dichotomy, there is a big difference.

Literally everyone I know (online and offline) - and it's quite a lot of people) who uses Monero because of privacy, also holds Bitcoin, and almost always in much greater amounts than their XMR stash.

The #monero price being stable over many years is at least in part due to the fact that people generally want to use it, not hoard it.

And that's fine, different tools for different jobs! I converged on this pattern many years ago myself: I trust BTC to raise my purchasing power over the medium-to-long term, and I trust XMR to keep my transactions from prying eyes.

There's no conflict at all! Just some very dogmatic people around who refuse to see the truth staring them in the face.

I love the monero folks, apart from monero they also often have deep privacy insights on other technologies as well, and I respect that.
