But all the ‘Bitcoiners’ still stay, even when Nostr is right here. nostr:note1v2434xmczswh53jq3vntmkyrwpr84g65mj873d5fstd3n2u8ncfs3cq7av

Blows my mind
Same, I try not to get ranty but it’s really frustrating, especially with the opportunity to drive Nostr forward if they all based themselves here
They can’t let go of that ad-funded teat.
Kinda like how adoption could be spreading if bitcoiners used their coin and not just hodl'ed...
Bitcoin is used globally and spending is growing. I personally think Hodling right now actually helps too. Nostr development would benefit from an exodus of X which is just a prison to freedom.
Only 6% of the world USES cryptocurrency. 0.2% are bitcoiners. Adoption is dropping like a rock in the ocean.
We are regressing in adoption. And fast.
I wrote all about it.

I’ll have a read, thanks
I read your article, I agree it needs to be used and promoted. I think time will tell, maybe we don’t have time. Bitcoin is still very early in its growth and institutional adoption is an attack for sure. There is alot of work going on to make Bitcoin a slicker payment rail for everyday use. We have to keep moving forward
100%
Bitcoiners need to think more adversarially and stop resting on laurels of "we won".
Nostrich is the perfect emblem of the state of things. Lot of heads buried in the sand and asses in the air ready to be fucked by The State, their favorite politician and CBDCs.
I think Nostr is very positive and its users are actually wanting Bitcoin’s development away from just SoV. I’m not a Saylor fanboy at all and have always been sceptical of his adoration. Certainly not heads in the sand here that I see
Yep, exactly. Our territory of freedom is completely dependent on imports from the fiat dominion. So even when we spend Bitcoin on basically anything we are still just creating demand for fiat. This makes offramps more valueable to the market than self custody, which means "Bitcoin" is just a financial instrument within the fiat system and loses its entire value proposition as separation of state and money.
This dovetails straight into the State's next attack vector as we enter phase 2 (see vid)
