 I’ve heard this sentiment so many times and I don’t get it. Are we not supposed to integrate bitcoin into things? Apparently nostr is a “ddos” on bitcoin development 😆?? What does it have to do with bitcoin? We simply use lightning for payments, and many other protocols should too!

I would normally write this off as unhinged but I keep seeing it.

More devs we can get in into building freedom tech the better. https://i.nostr.build/jkgUtR0iAdW6dDJj.jpg  
 This is amazingly hysterical. 
 Lmao wat.  
 Smol brains 
 Pretty sure podconf is some kind of troll/parody account 
 Yeah, but people actually say this. Prob why they’re joking about it. 
 that’s pretty funny then 😂 
 I mean I give Jack a lot of hate but this is pure craziness even by my standards lmfao

I don’t like you already…
Go away please…
Lmfao 
 Ok shitcoiner.  
 GFY 
 Wow. That is weird. You can’t really even apply logic to that to try to see where they are coming from. It’s like hyper territorial emotionalism. 
 I think parker lewis was the first person to say something like this, that nostr is a distraction to bitcoin dev, ever since then I keep seeing people repeat this. Makes no sense. 
 Not to make snap judgements of the guy, but it really does sound like he feels nostr threatens his personal position in some way. It doesn’t make sense in any other way unless I’m missing something obvious 🤷 
 Haha podconf is satire guys 
 🤦‍♂️ i knew it was too dumb to be real 
 Who you hearing it from? Maybe they're just making noise 
 Will, do you know what PODCONF is? 😂 
 Apparently not lol 
 They are the Podcast Conference industrial complex and they are a menace trying to destroy everything good about life for the sake of compliance and NGU  
 ok rub it in xD

 Bitcoin makes the pie bigger.
To think, because some people want to create an uncensorable communication medium that happens to use lightning, takes away from bitcoin is a symptom of terminal fiat brain. 
 🥚😬 i fell for clickbait 
 same. got me good 
 It makes no sense to me.  I think it is safe to ignore this idiot. 
 oh no delete this 
 cant delete 
 oh no 
 There's no such thing as UnInFoRmEd BitCoInErS, they would not be bitcoiners.
He's just moody 'cause he can't figure out how to get followers here. 
 PODCONF is an embarrassment  
 Compliance Is Defiance® 

You will never understand what this means. 

Frauds. 
 Defiance is defiance. 2+2=4 
 That makes absolutely zero sense 
 All these devs are too busy zapping one another instead of scaling Bitcoin as they should.  
 @podconf can’t be reasoned with, they only care about NGU 
 The Price Is Bitcoin Is What Matters® 
 We find your comments disgusting. For those of you reading this do your own research and think through the second order effects of wet Noster development is doing to harm Bitcoin. Shame on you. 
 shake harder son 
 Gotta love the @ODELL zap that highlights this being a troll and/or moron, baller move 
 Pathetic simp. 
 show us this wet noster development second order effects research 
 Huh? 
 "THIS IS WHAT GETS US HAWAII, HONEY!" 
 I’ve done my research and find it a net positive. Talented devs are created new and exciting projects that are bringing awareness to bitcoin and freedom tech. Not so talented dev have a shiny new thing to distract them. Win win.

 Hahaha this is such the antithesis to bitcoin philosophy. I can’t believe you have so much free time that you can make such a nice looking turd.

 Not really relevant what disgusts you. Just help us (and yourself) think and show us what you think you see. 
 How dare you integrate our payment rails 
 I see #nostr as the driving social force behind #bitcoin development; Keep Hodl'ing Up!  
 PODCONF is run by some very weird people 
 I think he’s saying #Nostr is stealing devs from bitcoin projects, because whoever this is, is a butthurt dumbass apparently. 
 Devs and funding. And funding for the devs. We should stop The Nostr. 
 #NOSTR is the 'network' in network effects 
 I think that account specifically is a parody/meme account from @Bugle_News , no? 
 #SafeToIgnore 
 WTF. There’s room for more than 1 piece of freedom tech. What an ignorant take. 
 🤷‍♀️ 
 Podconf is a troll. Ignore 
 data is the new oil 
 Noise without substance. Earned a mute 
 I actually don't understand what "PODCONF" is trying to communicate? 

So glad I'm not on Twitter anymore 🙂
