 I'm really surprised that more shitcoins haven't tried to leverage Nostr as a platform to build off of. Not even in a scammy way. If you want to add a lot of power really quickly to your project, Nostr. 
 They’re happy to be on something like Farcaster where you need an email address to sign up and you have to buy tokens just to use a network where everyone talks about shitcoins all day. It’s more in line with their overall vibe. 
 I assume they haven't because there are no incentives and most of the people here hate them. Why would they want to go where they're hated and made fun of constantly? 😂 
 I’m not surprised.

The problem with shitcoiners is they don’t understand the problem - if they did, they wouldn’t be shitcoiners.

The problem was always the money; Bitcoin is the only thing that can solve it. Everything else is a distraction.

The problem nostr solves for is a permissioned internet, this is a much newer problem compared to the money but it should be clear to anyone who understands how the money got broken. 

We don’t need a token to solve that and that’s the first resort of everyone with the shitcoiner mindset so they won’t get it. We need to put permissionless identity first and decentralise data transfers. 

Everyone fucking around with Blockchain for a decade missed the power of public/private keypairs in other contexts.
