Good ole Rhodesia
Great point about USD to BTC!!
I agree with the sentiment.
Playing devil’s advocate however, outside of the few stores and services which accept and denominate in bitcoin, how does someone stop using fiat? For most of my life’s expenses and debts, I’m forced to transact in the currency of the state.
Furthermore, historically, it is the plummeting exchange rate which kills a currency, not the lack of using it in transactions. One could consider many currencies around the world dead already despite their widespread use within the state’s borders.
Fragility of ego is one of the major problems at present.

The clothes are very patriotic, their colors don’t run.
Thanks too. Better make sure that mute list follows you to the next client.
Wrong.
There’s nothing “weird” about it.
Decentralisation comes with clear drawbacks in the marketplace. Nostr may be superior technically, in almost EVERY way, but there is no coordinated communications effort.
I posted about this two weeks ago, and half the responses were: “oh you’re too bearish on Nostr” or “look at all the cool tech we’re building”.
And that’s precisely my point. The focus has ALL been on the tech (and rightly so). But my entire argument was that the gaze needs to begin to shift towards communications & go to market. There’s no point building the coolest car if nobody knows about it.
Unfortunately, I don’t know if the nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f people agree with this (they seem to be the only org funding collective initiatives). They just ignored the post despite tagging them.
Either OpenSats needs to fund some marketing efforts, or these efforts ultimately come down to the businesses building on Nostr. The best option would be BOTH.
I have some other ideas. I’ll DM you and see what you think.
In the meantime, GOLDEN opportunities like this are being completely missed or just not taken advantage of. Nostr should’ve grown by a million users this week, not fucking Blue Sky.

Who cares?! Truly. Just like folks getting bitcoin at the price they deserve, they’ll find nostr when they need to. All this talk about forced growth are counterproductive. Furthermore, if you want something to happen, make it happen. Things improve by change not chance. Too many folks with too many followers thinking that makes them relevant. We are all irrelevant.
Trends seemed to have been shifted earlier this cycle. August is the new September.
Every time I listen to nostr:npub1qdcakl75gd7wv0nqmmwrz09ddm5tzl7xj8lq2gclng2qzd8up5yqjpzclt I’ve never felt so…
1. Excited for the future
2. Fearful of the future
3. Inadequate in my hardware knowledge
4. Grateful I stumbled into this community
5. Tired

The conference was cancelled so get your refund
People who I find max sus:
- politicians
- "bitcoiners" who don't use nostr
That's it, that's the list.
Aren’t those just BINO’s?
Bitcoiner in name only.
Uruguay +1
Same state which was about to revoke CDL licenses for commercial drivers who had past OUI convictions without notice. But the kicker was that some were over 30 years ago and were waived during the driver’s initial application. That’s some BS.
Biggest hurdle is making a GitHub account; not another account. Can I just send patch files via nostr?
