 ETH is an obvious scam and should not even be in the discussion. 
 THIS. 
 If Nostr is going to succeed, you can’t police what’s going to be discussed. 
 I'm not policing anything.  You're a pleb here just like the rest of us; construct better arguments.  Welcome to a meritocracy. 
 Happy to be in a meritocracy. Since you’re into name calling, muting you. 
 Pleb is a term of endearment. 
 Only if you’re staying humble and stacking sats 
 Mate, being called a pleb is not a bad thing. 
We all plebs on here. 
Nobody is above anyone else.
Mind you we are happy that people with a history of good open thinking like yourself with a bit of social clout are spreading the good word of nostr on the bird app. 
 Witness 
 Pleb is a nickname here. It is not insulting at all. 
 Takes being called a pleb as an insult, ETH shill, and publicly announcing a mute. Sir this isn’t twitter, you look silly here. 🤣 
 No it is just you believing You’re smart, nothing more

 You can’t that’s the whole point. What do you think NOSTR is? 
 Nostr will succeed. Anything can be discussed. Anything can be built. That's the true power of decentralization and open protocols. 
 "Hello Nostr! I'm finally here and here's how you fix it"
GFY 
 We need more of this here. Nostr can quickly turn into a Bitcoin maxi circle-jerk. It's nice to see some other perspectives come along. Great to have you and  @balajis start to post more content here 😄 
 Nostr the agonistic battleground… like twitter used to be. Ideas of all kinds.

Lively discussion between disagreeing parties is a sign of scale. If everyone on a platform agrees, you know it’s early. 
 as much as I dislike eThErEuM and cRaPtOs, I agree with @naval.

the whole point of #nostr is for people to be able to discuss whatever they want. 
 Correct that's why we challenge poorly thought out ideas with better ones. 
 I'm all for challenging ideas 
 Why? 
 The large majority of supply was pre mined and the chain is centrally controlled.  Not to mention the technical deficiencies.
