 A top Nostr client is paying $1000/month to twitter/X to be a verified company and selling itself as Social Bitcoin Wallet..! What is their business model? https://image.nostr.build/a561aefa843ad5fcf75e1828c0814ab21f467f7b9699cb3f10d1688cd625c54e.jpg 
 Not a good look 

I don't use primal  
 I don't use a rubber with your mother. 
 Fair question. 

@miljan ? 
 It’s called user acquisition. You go where they are. 
 Primal is the Coinbase of nostr 
 Lol, now thats a burn  
 😂🤣 
 sommerfeld chooses violence from the top rope. 
 So... #DeletePrimal? 🤣  
 Bringing adoption for future hodlers? 
 🎯 
 I don't like what you said and I fear it's true 
 Wait why 
 Whats your preferred client? 
 I'd you like primal, snort is comparable. Nostrudel might be my favorite. I use both as web apps installed to my home screen. 
 #amethyst with orbot 
 Should I uninstall ?😱like seriously 
 Stop this heinous tribalism. JeeeZ 
 💯 
 Experiments to bring in more people to nostr is a good thing. 

I don’t know what the solution is. 

I do welcome experimentation to get more folk on nostr 
 i didnt mean to laff at your comment. i just click things sometimes and dunno how to unclick ... 
 No worries I’m with #onlyzaps 
 All the bitcoiners are on Twitter and primal is positioned as a social bitcoin wallet - so it makes sense to market on Twitter? 🤷‍♂️ 
 I thought Nostr was a decentralized twitter that solves all the problems of twitter. Now we are marketing to get more people to sell what? 
 There’s one problem Nostr doesn’t solve (yet?) - network effect 
 Nostr is not a decentralized Twitter. It’s whatever you want it to be. 

Users are the life blood of any apps. Everything has a cost and nothing is free. This is the capitalist system we love, is it not? People will do what they can to get more users to sustain their expenses 🤷‍♂️ 
 Nostr is the everything protocol 
 Lmao. 
 Zaps. 
 It’s a good idea 👍🏻 
 a social social wallet should have a lot of money in it, congrats @primal 
 Do y'all have to make a conspiracy of everything?

 Yeah, on one hand that's kinda weird marketing, on the other hand if you had to pick 3 words that describe Primal, this would probably be it. 
 🤨 
 Selling your kyc and tx info to the government 
 So what?

All Bitcoin influencers have their check mark on Twitter. All wallets are in the App Store.

As far as I know, current pays the 30% tax to Apple to let their users zap. How hypocritical is that?

Everyone is in it to make money off the vulnérables (Bitcoiners) 
 V4v? Zaps? 
 Lol may the client wars begin 
 How screwed up your algorithm should be to put your own Ad on top of trending posts?
