You won’t be disappointed! I think… haha
Oh my gosh if this is based on the book, I’m super stoked. That book is what got me excited about and studying Japanese language and ultimately got me moving here 9 years ago!!!
I don’t think it was that they don’t like Bitcoin but that they’re not sure about what it is, how it works and how to get started. Japanese overall are more comfortable with saving in fiat. The proportion of those doing investing is low compared to the west. The idea that the value in yen could go up or down feels like a bet to them.
I think many don’t understand the fundamentals of Bitcoin nor the faults of the current money system. Also the “apparent” nonexistent (or even negative) inflation rates in japan for a long time made holding fiat more attractive.
There is a Japanese translation of The Bitcoin Standard, so I hope many can read it and that more Japanese bitcoiners start creating content to educate others on the faults of fiat and the benefits of Bitcoin. Also how it differs from general cryptos.
Slowly but surely getting my dad to understand #Bitcoin each time we chat
If clients/protocol allow you to group contacts, I’d love the ability to not only positively filter according to lists but negatively too. In the sense that I’d like to say “show me all notes not from these contact groups”
I need to make a list to remind myself which people I met at #nostrasia belong to which Nostr profiles.
For me, living in Japan and not knowing any bitcoiners or nostriches here or anywhere, the best part was meeting such people living here in Japan, along with all the awesome people visiting!
Feels like I’m actually in the communities and feel more comfortable starting to contribute etc
What an amazing #nostrasia . Thank you to everyone who organized it and presented. Thanks to all the awesome people I met. So grateful for everything I learned and everyone I meant.
I’m looking forward to playing with the protocol myself and contributing.
Excited for what’s to come!
I should mention that Nostr also promotes the concept of value-for-value, in the form of “zaps”: if someone likes another persons note, they can click the lightning bolt to send them “sats” which are small parts of a Bitcoin. 1BTC=100,000,000sats. A common number is 21sats.
You will need a wallet configured in your nostr client in order to receive or send.
Hey bro! Welcome to #nostr
Nostr is a very new protocol built on the idea of building new networks of information that are not controlled by any single entity. Unlike twitter or instagram or Facebook etc who own your data, could modify it or censor your data, censor and control what data from others that you see, Nostr hands that control over to the individual.
It’s about freedom, transparency in a verifiable way. Most people here are all aligned with that goal to make a better world.
But Nostr really needs more people from different cultures and walks of life and it’s still a very new protocol.
When you use the Nostr protocol, you access information like notes (messages people post) using a client of your choice. For iOS a common one is #Damus, for Android a common one is #Amethyst. On the computer you might use snort.social, primal.net, coracle.social or many others.
You can pick the client that works for you. They’re all new and growing to become better! All the creators are on Nostr so it’s easy to reach out!
As a user you are identified by a key pair: one private key (nsec****) and one public key (npub***). Never ever share your nsec with another person. The nsec is used to sign your messages to prove it’s you. You will need it to log in to clients in order to write notes but otherwise keep it very safe. If you lose it, you lose your profile. If you give it to someone you give them full rights to your profile forever.
Others use your npub (the public key) to identify you and to verify that your messages are actually written by you.
The idea of the private and public keys is new to many people but hopefully it makes sense. Don’t be turned away. It’s essential to making the protocol powerful for the user.
As a user, you can choose where to send your messages. You select a bunch of “relays” which are special servers that store and distribute messages sent to them to other users using the same relays. You can change relays whenever you want if you think they’re censoring or doing something wrong or if you want relays that have different users etc.
But that’s it: key control, clients and relays are the essential part for a user to understand.
Use the hashtag “asknostr” when you have questions!
Let me know if anything is unclear

Queuing videos on YouTube on mobile is a premium feature? That’s stupid
There ya go.. I knew there’d be reasoning! Thanks for explaining!
(I wasn’t actually on snort when I had the thought btw hahaha)
