 lot of get-rich-quick #Bitcoin cypherpunk larps on X

a reluctance to even try nostr betrays their understanding of open source protocols & the importance of building non-corporate decentralized alternative networks

fudding novel developments in this arena is pointless

 Twitter is a platform for fiat maximalist LARPers. They think open source is what you do when you're about to eat something bland.

 maybe not “hates”; he’s just viewing the problem through too narrow a lense

he’ll come around

 yeah it’s odd. He has basically said he thinks its a distraction, while most of us would strongly disagree and thats its the total opposite. 

Nostr makes bitcoin 1000x more accessible. 

This makes bitcoin better. 

Haters gonna hate. Builders gonna build 🫂

 Appears to me that #nostr is the 'Medium of Exchange' that people were searching for. Not coffee at your old 20th century store front. The medium has changed.
