 Kind of ironic, isn't it? Bitcoin and freedom advocates scaring away bitcoiners from freedom tech😅.

 Primal: the best funded shitcoin on nostr.

 I won't say anything because I'm sat next to a window 😁 
 Making Nostr all about Bitcoin seems to have sucked in a bunch of grifters and finance-suits-in-hoodies, and it's turned newcomer's microblogging feeds into a cheesy, discount-version of Bitcoin Twitter.

Nostr has zaps, but zaps aren't the reason Nostr exists. Nostr predates the zap. Nostr has its own agenda. The real Nostr devs care about Nostr, for its own sake, and not just as a place to spend Bitcoin.

 100% and GFY

Cool, yeah bitcoin, got it. But like lets to other normal social and business things here too, it's why were here. I don't want any other platform. 

I also have no idea what Bitcoin Twitter was, but the reason it's call Bitcoin-Twitter is kind of gross imo.  
 to be fair, nostr uses taproot cryptography, and bech32 encoding

not sure why it didn't use JSONRPC2 like Bitcoin P2P network tho

i think fiatjaf thought it would be clever to do something super minimalistic and full of implicit semantics 
 Bitcoin is life 
 The GFY was a nice touch. 
 Umm.... okay here i have to disagree with you. I would not spend half as much time on nostr if it weren't for the doors that open and limitless possibilities with lightning
