Which non bitcoin communities do you believe will use nostr first?
Discussion
political right. what we used to call conservative. because they hold dangerous beliefs that are shut down on corporate social media (a woman cannot be a man a man cannot be a woman etc)
Central Bankers…no wait not them.
All communities will be bitcoin communities.
Eventually sure but I'm asking more like, who will bootstrap this thing initially
I think the first candidates are really a subset of any community that currently uses Twitter. But Nostr could be the base for so much more than a Twitter-like experience.
anywhere in the world where speech is censored most, ppl from those places will bootstrap #nostr from pure necessity
Bitcoiners is still the answer. There is a bitcoin economy being created on nostr, people will be coming here to participate + build and that’s going to bring enough Bitcoiners in (many of them new) to get this bootstrapped.
It’s the one group Elon needed to build his X/WeChat vision. Digital money enthusiasts who could have bootstrapped a Twitter economy will be building it on nostr instead.
If Elon had embraced the opportunity to pair twitter with bitcoin his position now would be much stronger. But he is a govt subsidised shitcoiner at heart who wants to push doge onto the twitter populace and pump his own bags. This is playing out beautifully.
Social activist. Political opposition in totalitarian regimes. #[2] already shared that a few activists joined Nostr recently.
… and also great to see you back here, Stephan! Had to leave Twitter for numerous reasons and I missed your posts.
The Chinese anon freedom fighters are already here
People who hate censorship
I hate to say it but I think the pron producers/adult media industry.
Libertarians
Anarchists
Hippies
Artists
Activists
Definitely not the non-Bitcoiner Libertarians and Anarchists. They hate winning.
Humans ?
It’s always been the same w/ any and every new info technology.
Porn draws the plebs in.
Artists. They always build the shitty town into something awesome and then the gentrifiers come along and bore it up with their mediocrity…
It might be event-driven. Trucker protest equivalent
I think we will see all sorts of niche relays pop up and build a lot of voluntary grass roots communities like subreddits, Facebook groups, and forums, etc.
I think we will see communities who have been the most disenfranchised adopt it first. Political dissidents immediately come to mind. People who just want the truth and to be able to draw their own conclusions about medics/vaccines. People who want uncensored feeds.
Honestly, I think Nostr will act as the most powerful gateway to bitcoin adoption.
Sexwork
I see plenty of Monero folks here.
"Crypto" DAO?
Human rights activists? 🤞🏼
Fitness. I hope
