At some point I just gave up, not because I am not convinced itโ€™s important, but rather because it causes even more resistance. The only person I was able to convince is my brother, but he was already interested in โ€žcryptoโ€œ back then, so it required only a small kick from my side to refocus his interest on bitcoin only.

And I think nostr:npub1r6wcp84fd7xhyflsvqjlf63d6s0fgfkyyakedfc8wzv8eqqn6gwqp03kh5 nailed it down. For an outsider, nostr looks like a cult, where one is trying to tell the others how to properly love bitcoin and how it fixes everything, including the lack of toilet paper at home ๐Ÿ˜‚

I think the main take-home message you can really learn on nostr is study, study study how to setup a node, study how money works, study cryptography, study protocols, study how bitcoin changes the behavior of killer bees on Saturdays after a rainy night, study something and help others.

If enough people do this, others will join. Bth this also works outside of the bitcoin community.

I have not been around long enough to give up ๐Ÿ˜‚ you want the best for friends. ๐Ÿค— but you're right, it rather increases the resistance. And I still have so much to learn. But I like it. The way is the goal
