 I hear about Shinobi from @TheGuySwann #BitcoinAudible. He reads his articles about #Bitcoin and #Lightning. Do you guys think his technical opinions about this two topics also flawed? Because when you are not too technical yourself you need to trust someone at some point. For example I feel like I can trust @ODELL when it comes to his moral compass. 

This reminded me, the other day @LynAlden was saying in #WhatBitcoinDid to @petermccormack that pure self custody is a platonic ideal so we all need to trust someone at some point with something. 
 It's fine to trust Odell but that doesn't mean he is right any more than Shinobi is wrong. So far Nostr hasn't gained any users beyond some bitcoiners & despite Odell regularly saying Nostr will be the standard it won't be if its just a sub-set of bitcoiners using it.
