I don’t think it’s an active thought - more like a personality trait. They don’t need to be a hater to have an ego that prevents them from being early. I was early to bitcoin but had an ego too - not a holier than though type but deep engrained ignorance and that led to ignoring bitcoin for too long after my initial encounter. Took a lot of learning on my own time to put that kind of attitude aside. Could also be other things preventing them - too busy, too much money, family first, only want to focus on bitcoin - who knows…

Can you link to these “perspectives” that “Nostr” can be objectively refuted?

- High bandwidth usage - Relay operators need to get paid, and the typical user currently pays for centralized services by sharing their data. Paying for multiple relays will not be accepted by these folks. - Instead of one evil corporation having your data, everyone has access to your notes, etc. - Privacy was never a consideration in the protocol design - NIPs are a moving target. People have been attempting to implement private (secure) chats and marketplaces, but have to keep rewriting and redesigning what they just released. I'm sure if you spend a few minutes, you can think of other issues, unless you're a new user.
