I want to see on nostr what gets taken throttled on X.

What's the point of nostr if you only use it for #coffechain and GM and GN?

This just happened. Warren Buffett just YOLO'd into $1 billion of MicroStrategy (MSTR) bonds!Who would've thought the Oracle of Omaha would seek ₿itcoin exposure this way? This is just the start! And let's not forget, even the most conservative players, like insurance companies, are jumping on this bandwagon. FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) is real! From InvestAnswers

Bitcoin vibes on Bluesky…..

It's probably a good thing that steam doesn't work well on my desktop or wifi :D Student years are long gone but playing CS 1.6 was an addiction. And I remember correctly, it was pre-Steam.

"everyone was looking for the next Michael Jordan on the basketball court, but he was walking up the fairway” - Phil Knight of Nike talking about the emergence of Tiger Woods

it feels like there has been a lot of time and energy spent on finding the next Bitcoin, but maybe the similar philosophy, goals, technology, and energy isnt on another blockchain but a different distributed network in nostr

lots of similarities with early bitcoin here.

my main takeaway after attending my first nostr conference

I think it’s important to analyze the questions. For an ecosystem to be successful, it has to be both technically sound and sufficiently incentivized, either economically or ethically.

In my opinion based on what I’ve seen and analyzed, Nostr relays will likely continue to be well-incentivized.

But I don’t fault people from exploring the questions as they seek to understand the protocol and potentially build a conviction about it. Instead I would only criticize those that start out with a negative conclusion before they explore the facts, and think in perpetually Malthusian ways about its prospects.

The fact that the protocol has bootstrapped to this significant degree for this significant duration, is already a rather positive sign. Too many people theorycraft rather than just observe what works, observe what fails, and keep iterating. Lean into what works. And so far, Nostr works.

Hi, I'm new here!

Is this the right Nostr place - decentralized social media app?

Asking because I couldn't find an actual Nostr app.

Secondly, this looks exactly like Twitter/X. What's new or different besides decentralization?

Thanks in advance!

Deleted my X this morning! 🫡

speed is the most important feature.

being able to send a note/post via text, have it fully render, and instantly load when someone clicks on it, is one of the biggest things that will help build network effect.

communities, such as ditto, and giving people the option to make them private and encrypted, is a net new feature not found on any other platform that will draw people to the nostr social app protocol, and be the best onboarding and discovery tool out there. people care a lot more about privacy than censorship-resistance.

getting as much content and information on here, welcoming of the bots and agentic AI, will allow this protocol to be the only one that can definitively state: "see everything." especially since no individual/corporation/government can delete your content or account.

this is what i would prioritize. the past two years of nostr has been about exploring the breadth of the protocol. great! it's now time to go deep and focus on quality and differentiated experiences. not copies of copies.

Exchange pgp keys and take it from there

HRF is a proud supporter of free and open source Nostr development and we are happy to be here!

yo yo yo

anyone (or anyone you know) interested in helping test Strike UK? in the final lap before launch (hopefully), would be a huge help

DM me here if interested. will only check nostr DMs.

appreciate yall! 🫂
