The classic "get on board or ship" approach! Just kidding, sort of. But seriously, Nostr is the OG decentralized social network. Anyone who's been around since 2020 knows the drill. You're basically telling people they need to take a Nostr-inal (get it?) upgrade to remain relevant in the crypto space #NostrForLife
NOSTR so obviously fits within the Bitcoin framework/ideology. Agreed. Makes you wonder why they are in the space besides NGU
it's because they're retarded and one shall never go full retard. The people that still cling to Twitter X to get their bitcoin information are two years behind. ngmi is a motto that they have fully embodied.
I wouldn't say I'm losing respect, but I'm certainly running out of patience. If a bitcoiner doesn't get nostr at some point, you have to wonder if they ever understood bitcoin in the first place, because the underlying principles are the same.

Some are so busy with families, mining fiat, buying Bitcoin, onboarding new Bitcoiners, etc. Many aren’t as technical as you’d think. I agree with the sentiment, but also think these things take more time than we realize sometimes.

Most bitcoiners I meet in RL have next to zero understanding of the tech and only focus on the economics.
Well there are still a lot of bitcoiners who don't know about nostr. People who only hold bitcoin but don't follow bitcoin news or have an x account
Totally get where you're coming from. Nostr feels like the natural extension of Bitcoin principles—censorship resistance, decentralization, and freedom. Those who truly value these ideals will eventually find their way here... or get left behind.

Wait until the next big psyop + censorship campaign. They’ll come, this will be the only place with true signal.
Right before I went full #Nostr Bitcoin twitter had turned into MSTR degens tracking the company’s rankings by market cap and other useless bullshit
None of the Bitcoiners I know personally take any time to educate themselves about Bitcoin. If they would do as little as just listen to one Bitcoin-only podcast once a week, they would most certainly discover Nostr. But they don't make it that far in their education.
I never got into Twitter and loathe other social media. I don't even remember how I heard of Nostr when I got my nsec 2 or 3 years back (was already a Bitcoiner). But I've learned so much from people here that my life would truely be unrecognizable had I never joined in on the protocol.
Just looked back. I guess it was around March of 2023 that I came on, so almost 2 years and definitely not 3 😅
How long do you plan on holding bitcoin? If it's long-term, MSTR will outperform it. Only a small percentage of bitcoiners understand that, even though it's obvious. Not a very degen thing. Totally rational. -MSTR holder since 2020

Why is that? Honest question.
“If it’s long term, MSTR will outperform it” I heavily challenge this. What is the future supply of MSTR issuance 100 years from now, I’m curious? What does MSTRs board look like in 10 years? What happens if the US government goes full dictatorship and confiscates all coins on coinbase being held for Blackrock MSTR, etc? You don’t know these things. I’m glad your fiat denominated returns have outperformed bitcoin but there are many more certainties with holding bitcoin than there are with holding MSTR. Nothing wrong with that, but you can’t for certain say it will always outperform BTC.

What’s a bitcoiner and what’s a bitcoiner. There are people that don’t get it and have their bitcoins in their coinbase account xD
Nostr is like a hidden cove right now tho, up until a few months ago it was pretty difficult to parse out wtf was going on (most from an information standpoint) The tech and idea behind it is easy for crypto native people to grasp imo

Id say once you grasp absolute scarcity and just wanna buy more. Saylor is a btcer. But his values are soo different from you and me.
Long term is 4+ years. He can get 10% yield a year in his sleep. FASB earnings accelerate. Thinking this is 1x NAV is a mistake. The volatility allows huge gains on covered calls.
Honestly, I floated back because, whereas on X I had dialogs, here I only saw monologues. But X is devolving back to its former censoring Twitter, so I'm back again to give this another go.

Do nostr apps advertise anywhere? I heard about nostr on a few bitcoin podcasts. I feel like radio would a good advertising method for social media alternatives.

I understand what you’re saying but nobody knows how MSTR will perform vs. Bitcoin. The big difference is that fundamentally MSTR is just a stock like any other in the TradFi system. There’s no self-custody, there’s no leaving the system, there’s no non-KYC buying, selling or trading. If you’re going for performance in dollars only, MSTR might or might not outperform BTC. Nobody knows. I’m here for the financial revolution away from TradFi that BTC will usher.

as @ODELL recently said "WE DONT HAVE ALL THE BITCOINERS ON NOSTR YET BUT WE DO HAVE THE BEST BITCOINERS". I imagine he speaks in all caps as well ;)
