Obvio, bitcoin primero nostr segundo

What if nostr is what leads to the mass adoption of Bitcoin for regular people?

Posting memes or a reply and having nickels tossed at me is kinda neat....

It's hottest catch on sometime right?

i think it could very well be a massive adoption driver for bitcoin

It was massive for me. I was in my HODL-cave for a few years and decided this summer to see what was going on with my magic internet money

I knew nothing about Lightning or Nostr or anything, but started listening to Bitcoin podcasts on my vacation. Then I saw this fantastic video on how Lightning works and I started zapping around on Nostr and I was like "Yes! they actually solved instant trustless payments after all!"

Did someone say otherwise?

A while ago I did. But I was drunk 😄

NOSTR won't exist without bitcoin...

true but nostr gives bitcoin its legs

Hi

I think they are as important as each other. Free speech and freedom tech tools are as important as freedom money. Especially with the way various western governments are going

We could live without Nostr because some other "social network" would pop up.

There will never be another bitcoin

Oh…

When you continue on this positive path and energy you will remain strong and powerful 🫡

You're right, but I probably wouldn't have understood the importance of Bitcoin without Nostr.

>Nostr is nice – but Bitcoin heals deeper wounds of humanity. Money corruption is the root problem. #BitcoinFixesThis

Of course

Was the cypherpunk mailing list more important than bitcoin?

Would bitcoin exist without the mailing list?

Exactly. You can't know what is going to come from NOSTR, so it is hard to say. One might even call it prophecy.

imo Nostrs advantage is for being such a simple protocol, it is fairly easy to extend build and innovate over it.

Without free speech you don’t have a free people. I think Nostr is more important tbh.

Based

Idk but it seems they can work hand in hand perfectly 🤝

💯 Free speech is just as important as freedom money, if not more. But

- There can/will be many more Nostr clones.

- There can't be another #Bitcoin. This is it. One shot, one opportunity.

Busting bubbles since block 1.

Absolutely! Bitcoin's the real deal, way more crucial than nostr. 🚀💯 #BitcoinIsLife

So, run and buy Bitcoin instead of writing texts here.

In order to transfer money, you need to be able to communicate and be informed as well. Money is only the first thing to fail. When communications fails too, Nostr will be ready.

Bitcoin prevents theft of time and energy. Free and open speech allows one to expose the theft. Is it the chicken and the egg question?

Sorry, but that comparison doesn't make any sense.

🫂

It feels like you're justifying nostr failure. I think nostr time doesn't arrived yet

nope

Fix the money fix the world

Family is much more important than bitcoin.

true

everything else is a means to that end

✌🏼

Impossible to look at your children and say, “there’s nothing I’d sell Bitcoin for.”

Yep but family is also why Bitcoin is so important. Bitcoin must work.

so dont shell Bitcoin core 30 then please...

freedom of speech is much more important than freedom of transaction...

Whats the differences

you can't have freedom of transaction without freedom of speech

this is basic

Most transaction is credit from an individual or a trusted 3rd party and only needs to be spoken to be considered complete

Maybe Bitcoin is much more harden and developed. And I would argue people are more shitty about you messing with their money than their freedom to speak (not sure why really, but its just true), so I could see that Bitcoin being a stronger tool to improve rights and freedom. But i don't think "Important" is the word you are looking for. Or not the word that should be used...🤷‍♂️

Maybe Impactful 🤷‍♂️🤙

There’s no freedom without a free market, free speech and sound money. They are equally important. Nostr is a public square (free speech, offer and buy goods) and market place (you can zap to pay). Bitcoin is the sound money.

And you are the attack vector. Find core devs and spreading propaganda.

im not your enemy no matter how much you try to make me one

I would argue that Bitcoin is the most important thing for money but nostr is probably the most important code SINCE Bitcoin's for speech. In other words, we need both. Unless we want to use Bitcoin's blockchain for speech besides using it as a digital photo album.

What is the context of this statement?

Both are useful technologies to help us achieve self sovereignty, privacy and avoid censorship etc...

Is there a matter of allocation of resources to one or the other?

I argue that the purple pill is easier to swallow and will turn many orange once they go purple.

MATTHEW THIS IS THE KIND OF THING YOU SHOULD POST ON TWITTER.

Both are great and important! One enables the other to

Especially now you can post cat memes on bitcoin, do we even need Nostr?

Is it though?

Yes truly think so, relays are very simple message bus servers, they get a message and publish it, that's it!

All the rest happens in clients and sure clients need to work on the harder complexity but from the networks perspective it is very simple.

Well, it’s more important than pretty much anything so yes. Nostr gud too though

Bitcoin is a backbone of nostr.

Bitcoin gives purpose and vision to nostr.

And nostr is a platform to onboard and connect all 10 Million Bitcoiners on single place.

Without bitcoin, nostr is just another social feed build by some revolutionary folks who stand against censorship and control.
