if you use x you would think bitcoin as freedom money is dying
if you use nostr you realize bitcoin as freedom money is thriving

Very true.
Why would I use X?
Hey you, it is Easter weekend and you were spending it with the FAM! Just kidding. Hope you and yours are enjoying this wonderful weekend, mate.
God Bless

Freedom usually involves exiting the highway and taking the scenic route. Nostr is definitely the scenic route
GM!
Wouldn’t know what the convo on X is, haven’t been there ages.
Here is a few sats I didn’t ask permission to send 🤫
LFG 💜🗽🧡
I’d imagine it’s hard to see freedom thriving from inside a prison.
Nostr is the best use case for Bitcoin atm
That’s why I’m #nostr only. High on signal and high on optimism!
if you use both nostr and twitter you have a pretty nice picture of the totality,
why do we have to treat twitter like it’s evil?
it’s an inferior tool but abandoning the lot there doesn’t seem to be working.
newcomers come to twitter, not here.
on twitter they don’t know @ODELL @Gigi @less
where would I have been on my journey without these voices?
y’all need to reconsider your lines in the sand.
Shadow ban 2.0 is being used on mainstream social media for choosen topics.
use whatever you want

look man, that reply given what i wrote, just saying, self reflect.
stay humble my guy
Stop reading X. Just because you use Nitter to access it doesn't mean you aren't using X.
"The bitcoin is dead, long live the bitcoin!"
Although the BTC is "only" a technical solution, the faith and thought about it are alive. Some are dying, some other are raising.
But the technical solution will still alive, because BTC is build for each people of the world unlike fiat money.
Yes this is so true ✔️
Yeah. Constantly talking about Xand demeaning its users yet still going on there to read the posts (even if it's via a third party such as Nitter) doesn't make sense. It's almost as if X is in fact a better place in some cases 🤔
FACT
it is definitely not better, flooded with scammers, lies and bad incentives for engagement, mixed with advertising cancer, and an algorithm that clearly skews to amplifying negativity, hatred, short-termism.
that’s why important and loud voices which balance the scales are important there.
lots of whom have self-censored their voices from there, while like you said maintaining their vision on what’s happening there (almost impossible not to, because it has become the new mainstream).
not good imo, worst of both worlds.
what gets normal people to step into nostr if they start with twitter?
not so fast there sir,
bitcoin is the best use case for bitcoin atm
because you don’t want to exist in an echo chamber
The signal shines brighter on nostr
You think opposition on X is organic?
that doesn’t matter though
💯

Thank you for this perspective. We need it.
Nuked my Twitter, all in Nostr
I deleted my account on Twitter before Elon bought it. What I don't do is constantly criticize X and it's users while going there to read it every single day which is what Matt does. It's almost an obsession. If X is so bad he should stop spending so much time reading it and writing about it & do something more worthwhile because it seems like he should never have deleted his account.
no zaps mr chip?
appreciate this perspective
I don't really care about zaps, it's not that important to me. My node went off line & my channel was force closed so I lost some money and I can't be bothered to redo it just to send & recieve zaps on Nostr. When/if the time comes that Lightning is accepted widely enough as a payment system I'll set up my node again. Otherwise I just stack sats & hodl 👍
fair enough, fwiw my unpopular opinion on custodial wallets like @primal and on using them for send/receive zaps is it is completely awesome.
I've had them before, not Primal though, and they always close them down.
i sincerely hope those days are behind us.
i would watch what WoS does, now that Phoenix wallet is back in USA
if WoS comes back, huge green flag for the future of LSPs
Post this on x
Yeah WoS was one of the wallets I used and I like it 👍
Indeed!
Sorry for not removing tracking code, my bad
This is such a bullshit take. It just means you entered a self-reinforcing echo chamber with a minute user base.
Such a shame watching your transformation from self-conscious privacy advocate into self-congratulatory pastor pandering to his flock like a cheap tele-evangelical.
> a self-reinforcing echo chamber with a minute user base
this is true, user base is tiny, but nostr is very early, if we are successful this will not be the case
> self-congratulatory pastor pandering to his flock like a cheap tele-evangelical
i dont think this is true, still much work to be done, nostr's success is definitely not inevitable
---
all that said, thousands of people are sending and receiving bitcoin using nostr, that is pretty cool
It’s totally fine, that we have our own maxi cheer squad. No shame.
If the potential is real (is it not?) then BIG NOSTR ENERGY is how low time pref is won. Stay pumped!
Block partying to freedom money
