Oddbean new post about login | logout Bitcoin Twitter really seems to be dying. It seems mostly drowning into Main Character Syndrome capture, engagement farming, useful idiots cheerleading grifters, with very short bursts moments of energized grasps for air of really good posts and discussions. The trend is noise over signal. It's kinda sad as it had a very good moment, but i guess nothing is for ever. What is still unclear is a lot of important public discussions need to be had. But they seem to be Balkanizing and going dark. My DMs are full of things that would serve the commons. But people no longer have the patience for Eternal September arguments and socks. Nostr could become one of the new bitcoin public squares, but we are definitely still far from it. Gotta find the purple pill formula for the bitcoiner nostr derangement syndrome. ✌️
If more bitcoin devs came to nostr I could easily quit. Seems like most of them are moving to delving however
They all coming home to nostr. 🤣
...bringing their bullshit with them 🙃 https://tenor.com/de/view/rooster-chicken-walk-gif-12532769
The date you deleted Twitter may be more important than the date you joined NOSTR. nostr:note164styn2a3h5rqqak83n97kw3lpdz90t5repzrs4l9l8n80s2eaaqkx68e4
We were obligated to get away from jack last platform into the new one. Forcefully updated to the same principals as before. Soon the feds will take over of every single corner of web2.
Every corner of web 2 lmao yes web 1.0 is the way!
i sadly think that if Bitcoiners haven't migrated from Twitter to Nostr yet, it's because they want their algos to handfeed them an experience that they're used to. i get it, it makes socials easier to manage, but socials are meant to be social. we don't really need algos doing everything for us. we just have to have a balance and and abundance of choice. i think we're on the right path, it's just a slow trot forward.
There is still alot of value there, TradFi bros to dunk on, 350M ppl to share your ideas to, alot of different people to exchange with, etc... It's not just the algo addiction, there is alot of content that we don't have here yet.
That’s what takes time to make. Duuuuuh
sports....and humor. I miss the sports mainly.
Its not that, many plebs are there bcuz all they know is war, thiis is too quiet and too nice for them. They want shitcoiners, politicians and other morons to fight with daily. They not ready to become veterans yet. If whole world came to nostr, algos or not, plebs would come to fight them here.
But if bitcoiners arent on twitter because they are on Nostr, then how will anybody hear about the merits of bitcoin except for the people on Nostr, who are already Bitoiners? Foot shoots foot.
If nostr succeeds that means that #bitcoin can die. Because that proves a first mover can actually be replaced. And let's be honest. Twitter is the first mover. So I prever #bitcoin stays and nostr dies in that case.
Replaced by something better...
Bitcoiners used to be a label you could apply to anyone that cared about, well anything related to Bitcoin. At some point the success of the project means the number of people and areas of focus are hard to put all into a single bucket. Developers, politicians, product designers, miners, investors, activists…
Yep, it’s a fallacy to believe that the quality of the discussions on #Twitter would improve with #Musk takeover. The same opaque and algos are steering the debate.

Absolutely agree. I'm doing my best man 🫡 https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/why-i-am-already-a-nostr-maximalist
Tell Brian he is twitter ghey on the next BM meeting.
I have transitioned from orange pilling no coiners to purple pilling bitcoiners. A new challange that requires fresh strategies like the one above. Nobody wants to be Twitter Ghey 💜
Wait, I thought it was a bitcoin echo chamber here? 😂 There are a ton of bitcoiners who can’t and won’t give up the X. They crave that sweet Elon algo juice.
Ah.. it's just engagement of you ask me. All the Bitcoin twuhtter "thought leaders" worked really hard to earn that platform.
And endless plugs for fiat AF Bitcoin conferences.
we are becoming a closed silo, far from the town square.
We should only talk to no-coiners on Twitter and shun Bitcoiners on Twitter. Maybe Parker Lewis will join us.
huh? why is that? been using amethyst for a year, never had that issue. why are you following people who don't have your language? or do you mean global? primal helps this a lot with the tribe plus section of viewing.
