 #Bitcoin wouldn't have made it without these types of people. Now look at it. I don't see how #Nostr is any different.

The people who aren't Bitcoiners probably haven't fought for much and don't care as much about the principles that make Nostr great (yet). They'd likely just end up with another version of what they all already flock to.

I think they will come to Nostr as things get worse, but the seed of liberty is required first. Most people follow and flock to what people like us create. They don't create themselves.

Basically, I don't think Nostr would have happened without Bitcoiners and frankly, it didn't. It didn't exist before.

I think people will adopt it and bring their crowds over once it's ready to receive them. Why? Because those other platforms aren't going to become more free over time. I just don't see it happening. People, whether they know it or not, do prefer freedom. It just takes people like us to build it and make it easy for them.
