Replying to Not my name

To offer a somewhat different point of view, I didn’t come to #nostr to be among blind bitcoin disciples.

While I fully recognize that almost all here are #bitcoin maxis for the time being, nothing would make me happier than to see a loud, well-reasoned voice of dissent on #nostr when it comes to Bitcoin.

It may be hard for us to imagine or acknowledge flaws, but to simply assume bitcoin is perfect is to think dogmatically about it. And dogma is antithetical to bitcoin’s principles.

It may not seem like it now, because the user base is small and rather homogenous, but the entire point of #nostr is to give voice to those opinions we may not have heard before due to centralized media censorship.

If you’re not made to question your beliefs or feel offended at times, then you’re not doing yourself any favors. Growth, change, and improvement can only come through such experiences.

Nostr is an open source protocol and anyone can join it.

I got banned on twitter because of my political comments about my government. I cannot get banned on Nostr.

That’s why I use nostr.

Nice!

What are those views that got you banned?

I don’t even remember what the comments were but it was more than a year ago.

And ever since nostr came around, I knew I wanted to join it because I can exercise my freedom of speech.

Nice. I read through a few of your posts and it seems like you are a thoughtful person.

If you’re up for it, check out some of mine as I apparently have some unusual opinions on a bunch of topics. If you’re ever up for a rational discussion to challenge our respective views on these, let me know.

We seem to mostly agree on #Bitcoin, so that would likely be a pretty boring topic for us. :)
