It’s not really gaslighting, they aren’t doing it for nefarious reasons, they are high on their own supply.

Been joining a lot of Ordinals discussions on Twitter Spaces the last week with NFT people to try to connect with that community.

Hearing a lot of nonsense from them re: Bitcoin pre-ordinals.

Crypto people *actually* think there’s only ~600 devs working on Bitcoin projects.

They actually believe that Bitcoin had a “toxic community” until ordinals.

I tried explaining that they have all been sleeping on Bitcoin second & third layer development, sidechain development, global bitcoin adoption as well as bitcoin-adjacent projects like Nostr, Holepunch, Hypercore etc.

These folks now believe they are bringing culture, fun and diversity to Bitcoin.

What is this psychological phenomenon called?

They think bitcoin had a security budget problem, and because of them, bitcoin security is now fixed.

To their credit, the majority of them all seem to revere BTC and the Bitcoin blockchain.

Lots of this behavior, although they don’t “attack” bitcoiners (except Udi who always does) they do mostly keep it positive.

My wife and I are expecting our second child.

I just felt the baby moving for the first time (my wife’s been feeling movement for a few days) and tomorrow we find out the gender 🎉🧡👶

Guys, Welcome #[0] (Creator of Sparrow Wallet) 🕊️🤙

Since yesterday, so can't say if I like it or not yet

If your life didn’t change drastically after you understood #bitcoin, you didn’t understand #bitcoin.

Is this a permanent situation? Doesn't seem very practical to me?

I have a noob question.

When I look at my profile on Snort Social, it doesn't load more than a couple posts until after literally a few minutes. I'm connected to a decent number of relays, and am not having this issue on Damus.

What do you think is the issue?

One thing is that I think some of my relays listed on Snort Social aren't really connecting to my client there, even though they are connecting on Damus.
