 economy, community, ecosystem, environment, world…they’re all the same thing.

 What I was really getting at is this.

If Nostr took off as a social network, but very few people bothered to use #BTC  or #lightning  would that be a success or a failure? Would we feel it as a growth or an invasion.

 i love the idea of everyone here & anyone joining to all come together to just have a nice time.  having wholesome laughs together.

and so much goodness & benefits can come from people coming together and spreading good vibes — someone can get a new idea that excites them to make something or just feel better about themselves, couples can meet and get married, someone’s business can gain more business, a hobby club can form…etc.

(i don’t know what you mean by invasion.)

a significant chunk of folks here are extremely interested in bitcoin because they believe it will help incentivize individuals, businesses & the world to be more peaceful and just…increasing the ability to have good vibes with people & any community.

 The invasion reference was regarding #mastodon.  I've been there for a while and I noticed when a lot of people came on board at once - around the time Musk went crazy with Twitter - the #fediverse  natives were wary of the change in #culture.

It's calmed down now and the two groups have reached an understanding as the service evolved. But for awhile the natives felt invaded by a lot of people who thought differently to them and outnumbered them.

We're in that pre launch stage now. I'm wondering if we'll deal with it better. I think we will because it's a lot more heterogeneous here already so the culture shock will be minimal.

I think so anyway. I just wondered how other felt.

 that’s such an interesting story about mastodon. so much drama 😂. @rabble mentioned it in his talk yesterday, and i understand what he meant more now.  he said too that we’re all fundamentally the same humans from millennia ago sitting around a fire.

it’s a nice fire here.

and i think you’re right that this place will prove to be resilient, continuing a culture of free, chill vibing.  so far, there aren’t any obtuse overlords with unbalanced power manipulating others and using people for their own devious, selfish ends.
knock on wood!  lol jk.

nostr will keep growing and
