I have seen a few people join nostr and talk about what most here would call "shitcoins" and get flamed off of nostr as though it were sport. Not scammers per say just people interested in other than BTC. I encourage people to talk about whatever they want and not be piled on.
Discussion
It’s true. They highly attacked. Hateful culture. I don’t like it. Wish it was not like that. People should be able to co-exist. Other topics get similar responses… like if I say word “Elon”, or “Twitter”.
Yeah shitcoin was another term that was bonkers to me. It feels like a cult. If you aren’t in the in group, you’re in the out group and you better fuck off. That’s how it feels anyway.
Just replace shitcoin with scammer snake oil. That’s all it means. Lots of people have lost money in “crypto” scams and it’s our way to steer noobs away.

It's gonna sound so cheesy but I follow pretty much all of you and like you all.
So just for fun 🤞🤷
The feels are mutual! You’re all the best. 🤩💜⚡️🤙
Then why not just call them scammers? I know there are a lot of crypto currencies out there. As a person who isn’t into all of it, they all look about as scammy as the next. So the term is off putting from the outside looking in.
I think the reason the term came into use is to shame the superfluous pilferers of every sort of coin shaped ponzie scheme. Being sceptical is a good thing for people. Being accurately informed is better.
Valuable good people here like #[9] has spoken openly on his podcast nests about being shamed about his interests in other coins. But do we hate on him? No. I for one, will not. And I really hope others don’t either. Cause he’s great person… an AMAZING friend, who I highly value, highly love, & dearly respect. Listening is a learned skill, it’s more powerful to listen then to speak sometimes.

… And with that, I shall bow out.. & just listen. Thank you to all that gave honest & kind responses, & took time to listen. Then provide their own experiences & feedback. Much love.❤️🫶🫂

I’d like to find other users by hashtag. When I search a hashtag in universe nothing comes up. It’s only if I click on a hashtag on a note. Im using Damus
Type the hashtag and click where it says search that hashtag right under the search bar and it will take you to a feed of posts with that hashtag 
If it’s supposed to work, maybe I’ll try troubleshooting
Press “search #dogs”
Does that work?
Oh! Wtf you have to literally click on the word not just enter enter?! Good lord let me try that.
Yeah, so I also just learned that. Been on here for a while lol.
We should seriously submit a PR that causes the return button to initiate the search
Glad I’m not the only one just learning this I felt pretty ridiculous when that worked haha
Thank you for speaking this!!
Yea it used to be the same with searching users and posts but that was recently changed. I vaguely remember reading that he had other ideas for hashtag searches but I can’t remember for sure. But yea, it would be cool if that at least searched as you typed it without having to click anything.
Can ya understand even slightly now corn? These are users that have been here weeks… and they “just learned this” now!!! I realize that your knowledge base seems to “exceed” all our ours, but perhaps something as simple as this … not being able to find hashtags… further demonstrates my point.

If an account is trying to lead you to another system that’s platform
Based, that’s pretty much a tell. But there are a lot .. TG has become terrible , I hardly even check that account anymore
Bitcoin maxi here.
We call things by their name. If somebody acts as if it's something great or ok to buy/sell (in public space), then don't be suprized when someone objects.
Here’s the thing #[8]
There was, can be, and only ever will be one bitcoin.
Everything that came afterwards as an attempt to “improve” or somehow replace it is doomed to failure because they suffer from a fatal design flaw. They are missing at least one but usually more important aspect of bitcoin that can’t be replaced.
Those include :
- Its fair issue through proof of work
- Its lack of a company or known founder
- The fact that it survived years of attacks and emerged stronger after each one
- Its established network effects
- Its unchangeable supply and monetary policy
There are more, but that’s enough for now.
Yes, saying “Elon” or “Twitter” or many things here will shame people
to leave Nostr.
