 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 
 Useless, fake corporate cypherpunks 
 What's X?

 Twitter is a platform for fiat maximalist LARPers. They think open source is what you do when you're about to eat something bland. 
 This! 
 parker lewis for example, hates on nostr. can anyone explain why anyone who generally understands it would? 
 maybe not “hates”; he’s just viewing the problem through too narrow a lense

he’ll come around 
 we’ll see! 
 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 🫂 
 yea, aka he hasn’t figured out how to monetize 
 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.
