Just listened to TFTC.

Parker is plain wrong.

Nostr is not a distraction.

Nostr is an incredible freedom and coordination tool; it will ultimately orange-pill far more people than all bitcoin companies combined.

The systems he is saying that someone will have to build: gas stations, electricity delivery. All these commerce which requires buyer<>vendor communication.

All these systems will likely be on nostr.

With bitcoin payments natively built into them.

Bitcoin is a communication of value.

Nostr will be the coordination of that trade.

Yup, listening to that I was like wtf, nostr is probably the most important thing to be focusing on (not that you can/should control what other people focus on).

You can't have functional markets without freedom of commutation. And routing around state+big-tech censorship of communication channels is a hugely important step in terms of getting access to reliable information.

furthermore, 99% of non-bitcoiners are stuck on level-1 FUD like "bitcoin is too slow" or "bitcoin uses 1M barrels of oil per tx"

I wrote https://zaplife.lol as a joke, but it turned into a powerful tool to show non-bitcoiners how the bitcoin-can-do-7-tps is bullshit.

There is some real power in seeing a live feed of small payments flying by your screen.
