They're into Bitcoin for different reasons than they're portraying. I think it's that simple.
In it for the tech? They'd use Nostr.
In it for the revolution? They'd use Nostr.
In it for NgU? There's no reason to use Nostr.
Discussion
who is they?
Any Bitcoiner that doesn't use Nostr.
Ah, Derek Ross is better than 90% of Bitcoiners, nice.
I don't make the rules 😂
You ARE the founder of Nostr, so you kinda do: nostr:nevent1qqs2usay3alcusl76msrsexnttczvu75luwczvnfy4mcayawxedzpesppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgsr7acdvhf6we9fch94qwhpy0nza36e3tgrtkpku25ppuu80f69kfqrqsqqqqqph9j9gh
😂🫂 How's the negotiation going with BTC Media about doing the Bitcoin world record transactions at the Nostr Lounge?
"Negotiations are like a good cup of coffee—sometimes you just need to let it brew a little longer. ☕️✨ Excited for what’s brewing at the Nostr Lounge! #StayTuned"
He’s the founder and CEO 👨💼
Strangely enough, Bitcoin and NOSTR are both amazing yet orthogonal worlds. I’d even say they are entirely independent from each other.
👍
NgU more with zaps
They'd have to use bitcoin for that to happen.
I wasn't into lightning until nostr
I believe it. In the early days, I had 100s of Bitcoiners DMing me about setting up a Lightning node, or having a node and never opening a channel, or which custodial wallet to use. I was shocked. Shocked! That's one of the reasons why Nostr is so important for Bitcoiners. It allows them to stop just talking and actually get involved with what they've been preaching about. Using Bitcoin isn't just a once a year event at some conference or meetup. We use it every damn day and all day long here. Let's go.

Also, and this is something I see relatively regularly, but I think people are too focused on engagement. For whatever reason people don't enjoy posting into the void.
The idea that there's no algorithm and they're not being constantly feed Either derisive or positive content is something most social media users aren't really ready to wrap their heads around.
Most social media the goal is the high score not the true interactions
I don't post hoping to go viral here, it is just fun if anyone else wants to fuck around
Most peoples ego has an insatiable desire for attention
I love NOSTR it reminds me of early days of internet. Not everyone was there as well, but it just was better
Being in it for all three is a beautiful place to be.
Is Dan Held here? 👀
Case in point.
Shhh don't give him ideas
There are many levels to bitcoin. Those who ignore nostr got a ways to go in my opinion.
Nostr tech and Bitcoin tech are two completely different "techs".
