It seems a to me that there is a real divergence happening in bitcoin right now between those who just want NGU and those who are here for the revolution.
The hardest days are ahead. We have not “won” until we don’t use fiat at all.

Couldn’t agree more. NGU honestly piss me off and hurt long-term adoption. Nostr is so key to allowing people to see what something closer to a Bitcoin standard looks like. I made a handful of Lightning transactions before I came on here, but now I’m making hundreds of transactions a week. Mostly zaps, but I also pay for multiple monthly expenses (like VPN service) and have made a bunch of one off purchases.
Makes me feel so confident in long-term future of Bitcoin seeing the circular economies start to form. Care less and less about the current price with each day that passes. Whatever focus I did have on NGU has completely shifted to Nostr evangelism and trying to get the whole squad on here.
Well put as far as Nostr showing us a peek into the bitcoin world… hadn’t thought of it that way but you’re right that it opens you up to other ways of integrating bitcoin into the day to day.
Yeah I’ve tried so unsuccessfully to orange pill people on bitcoin (had a couple family / friends I’ve won over). But realized that a lot of people are just not that interested in the philosophical stuff, they need just simple use cases to get their foot in the door. Once they experience a couple powerful uses cases then they really are open to exploring more of the foundational concepts.
This is probably a testament to the fact that I’m low IQ and so are many of my family and friends 😂😂. But wanna do whatever I can to help those I love get free. Have won more people over to Bitcoin through nostr in two months, then I did in 3+ years of trying to talk to people directly about bitcoin.
