Some bitcoiners are still sleeping on Nostr. My Riga talk was dedicated to them:

If you have a bitcoiner friend who is not on Nostr yet, make sure they watch this talk:

Great presentation Miljan! I keep learning every day š
Everybody in #Bitcoin should have a #Nostr account.
Good talkāit really opens peopleās eyes to possibilities they might not have considered. Iāve been pushing this message for a decade, about what apps, socials, and discovery can bring to Bitcoin. But itās only now, with Jack on board, that more folks are listening.
That said, Nostr isnāt the only way to tie metadata to keypairs. Itās one of the clunkier, less extensible options, and changing anything in the NIPs takes forever. You mentioned the existing network has utility, but I doubt there are thousands of relaysāitās probably smaller, more centralized, and less reliable.
Itās a solid message, but I donāt think Nostr is the only path forward. The censorship resistance might be overhyped tooāit could just be that Nostrās smaller than Twitter, which might also be why people still use Twitter.
The micropayment angle is strong, maybe even a holy grail use case. But Bitcoin itself isnāt used much, which is a shame since npubs are taproot addresses. We couldāve built a whole free market on a non-rigged base layer by now, but thereās nothing happening at that intersectionāa missed multi-billion dollar opportunity. And honestly, thereās no real appetite for Bitcoin base layer integration with Nostr. Hope you donāt mind me pushing back a bit hereāI figure you might not get much of that in the comments
Tuned in for this years live stream of Honeybadger. Left purple pilled after your talk. Thank you ā”ļø

Bullish on nostr and freedom!!!
I got how decentralized social networking is just the tip of the iceberg for all NOSTR enable to get.
What I'm less convinced of is to tight NOSTR to bitcoin and not genericcally to all blockchains. What stop using any layer2 for micropayments other than someone willing to implement it?
I hope NOSTR will find the way to integrate with other blockchains too on top of bitcoin
Open protocols for:
⢠Value āæ
⢠Payments ā”
⢠Identity/communication š ¦
Each is powerful on its own, but they need each other to thrive š¤š

I need a purple pill because though I've dabbled, it hasn't yet felt like a clean experience all around. I'm here for it though
Good talk! Thank you for your service! ā¤ļø
The first step of a great journey
That was cool, great talk! Nostr is the glue we've all been sniffing! Love the potential and the momentum.
Let them lazy sleep. Lazies.
