I sometimes like to talk about sex nostr:nevent1qqsqjjmvrldzgmw4qsjktfkd4dqfj3v39j9q8l44rkegmj6ryspgrdgpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqzyrydp5x2sr6fqy22h3vnpgl35jyuwlm32gqhv6nfkqak8skxx04ksqcyqqqqqqgwh0r43

It's just not just the fact that they only want to talk about Bitcoin, Even if someone brings up a different topic, everyone tries to steer the conversation back to Bitcoin in the replies. Everything have to revolve around Bitcoin. Personally, I don't mind it it just feel like a Bitcoin subreddit. I mean, I'd rather scroll through other social media platforms because they discuss a variety of topics. The only thing that bothers me is that they don't seem to understand why Nostr isn't taking off and becoming mainstream. Well, one reason is that it's all about Bitcoin, and let's face it, 98% of the world couldn't care less about Bitcoin. I get being passionate about something, but really to an outsider all this 'orange pill' and 'normies' talk sounds like cult languag

I think it's worse than a Bitcoin subreddit (except for the fact that Reddit went to shit due to no longer being FLOSS and due to moderation). Subreddits are individual sections for people that talk about all sorts of topics. You talk about stupid things, you make jokes, you make memes and you ask topic-specific things about what you wish, including Bitcoin. This is like a whole fucking social media platform for people absolutely obsessed about Bitcoin. You "estimate" that "98% of the world couldn't care less about Bitcoin", but even the 2% that do don't need to be more obsessed by it than by any other tool they use. I use many tools. I'm not constantly talking about any specific one of them. Most people who are really passionate about a topic, which is admirable, are interested in something which is rather wide, things like programming, mathematics, art. Even when it's more niche, they usually don't think everyone should be as focused on it as they are. Money isn't really something one would normally be this obsessed about and the constant focus of one specific currency very understandably make people wary of Nostr.

Nothing wrong with bitcoin, it's a currency that a lot of people are passionate about and also a looot of people (the majority of the world) aren't interested in Bitcoin. It doesn't make them stupid or ignorant; it's just something they're not interested in. I'm sure you're not interested in a lot of things other people are passionate about.
