Oddbean new post about login | logout Although bitcoin is everything to me it's not everything for everyone. So, it needs to have other non-bitcoiners present without being run off by rude people who demand bitcoin only. Double edged sword. But it's the only way to have normies join and adoption rate increased. People will need to be more acceptant of others who aren't exactly the same as them.
Well, in my mind Bitcoin === material thing/currency/money. Imagine joining a social network where all they do is talk about money and how great they are. Not fun or a place where I would want to spend time. That is how normies would look at Nostr and ignore it 🐶🐾🫡
It already has that label and people are apprehensive. Especially those who have yet to comprehend the difference between bitcoin and crypto, but lump them together. Prime example of a recent interaction on Mastodon: https://image.nostr.build/acb078ce41034610f5aea936c45e2b5b805e91176b81f3f2aacf533b511784d7.jpg
my wife simply wants to be where her friends are and the people she follows are. None of those people are on nostr, and she doesnt give a fk about any of the freedom tech stuff. youll only have a chance of considering nostr if you meet one of those. try and think of why you first signed up for twitter, fb, etc. if you are me, you joined cuz you thought you were missing out on something. Nostr as it exists does not offer enough to generate that feeling that people are missing out on anything. with that said im here til the bitter fking end or voctory 🤙
victory* 😮💨
I never signed up for any social media myself, and was not feeling like I was missing out. Hard for me to relate I guess 🐶🐾🤷♂️
you are an exception then, good for you 🤙
