As a new Nostr user, how exactly do you find these discussions tho? I don’t see a ton of bitcoin/crypto talk in my feeds and am unsure how to find it

Hearing "you were right about Bitcoin" from friends hits differently. It’s not an admission—it’s a defeatist shrug.

It means, "You were right, but it’s too late now. I missed it." That attitude is the hardest to hear because it’s not true.

A lot of people think Bitcoin is too good to be true. And when you describe it without thinking, yeah—it does sound that way. A future of sound money, fairness, and freedom? It’s hard to imagine because we’ve been trained to expect disappointment, not hope.

People have been conditioned to be nihilistic about the future. So when Bitcoin offers a way out, it’s easier to dismiss it as "too late" or "not real" than to accept it’s already here.

They think it’s over. They don’t see that it’s barely begun.

You weren’t right then. You’re right now. And you’ll keep being right. It’s not about the past—it’s about waking up to the future.

I think about this daily. Do you?

Thanks nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe for the clarity of thought.

Social networks tend to build certain cultures. In this early stage, people here have a serious ability affect this culture if we ever go 10x or 100x or 1000x from here.

And you all have done an amazing job so far.

Imagine if Nostr can re-assert respect and kindness as normal online traits. You appreciate peoples' posts. You thank them. You agree or disagree politely. You treat people online similar to how you do offline.

You're not beholden to the algorithm. You're a real person, who uses algorithms for discovery. You're the master of your domain.

We still have that for the most part. Pura Vida is the unofficial motto here, which is awesome.

Keep it up.

First time founders are obsessed with product.

Second time founders are obsessed with distribution.

One of the keys to building BMC in fiat world has been an extreme focus on distribution.

Email list, affiliates, YouTube channel…

What does “building distribution” on nostr look like?

Is it simply gaining followers?

Do you think theres more to gaining distribution on nostr?

Curious 🤔

You make npub bookmark lists

What will be the most valuable skills to have in the Bitcoin industry moving forward?

What is the nostr equivalent of creators collecting phone numbers and emails…?

Let me explain:

On apps like Instagram/TikTok/YouTube, many creators will attempt to take their audience off platform and eventually capture some info like name, email, phone number.

This allows creators to:

1. Own their audience (reducing platform risk)

2. Have closer communication channels with their audience

With nostr, it’s apparent to me that Number 1 is solved for…

But what about number 2.

What exists for this today?

Some form of community, more direct communication, super-follow, etc.

Does something like this exist? Is there even a need for this here?

🤔🤔🤔🤔

Most of the time if you don't stick with it, you start over obsessing and so the diminishing returns start 😅
