imho, nostriga was the best nostr.world conference so far. and that says a lot, because nostrica and nostrasia were bangers. as i wait at the gate to fly out of riga, wanted to share some thoughts while my impressions are still fresh.
i don’t know the actual numbers, but it felt like this was the biggest nostr event yet. the quality and signal of presentations was excellent. we are leaning into what is working, while at the same time there are still many fresh ideas emerging.
in comparison, i must say that bitcoin events feel a bit stale. you can almost pick any talk/keynote/panel and drop it into any other bitcoin conference over the past few years - and it wouldn’t feel out of place.
nostr has a lot of momentum and i dare to say that we have the winning hand vs. the legacy web. just keep pushing fam. 💜☀️

Blue check bitcoiners. Are you fucking kidding me?
My favourite moment of the entire conference.
Thank you for all you are doing.
🙏
That did make me chuckle 🤭
and parties are superior

16 years VS 3 years - understandable that one feels new and exciting🤙🏽
Bitcoin events do feel stale a bit because it's just older than Nostr and there are more Bitcoin events during the year comparing to Nostr only events. So a lot of similar faces at Bitcoin events. In 7-10 years you will feel the same about Nostr events. It's just how tech cycles work.
Absolutely This is the way 🤙
Was amazing that Nostriga was adjacent to #BH2024 - I came for the latter, but could see plenty of exciting Nostrich feathers in the air 🧡💜
I think you’re on the pulse. It certainly felt that way from watching the live streams too…
busy watching some content on it... this primal app seems to work the best yet... and I love that I can just move to what I prefer
the advantage of primal is that you have a wallet for the app
SUPER bullish on NOSTR!! Excited that I was in Riga with all of you. ☀️💪💜🫂
nostr Will be the new internet
completely agree. in terms of numbers, apparently it was only 342 attendees, but felt like at least 1,000. in any case, given the people that showed up and the content of the presentations we saw, the legend-to-normie ratio was the highest of any conference I've ever attended.
I absolutely cannot wait for the next. Absolutely shattered I couldn't make Nostriga.
Lfg
I’m definitely going to try to make freedom forum next year
Hell's yes!! Next pump.. or no pump.. I'm putting aside a few grand to get wherever I need to 😁
Same 😊
Nice!!! Have you gone to any of the other (un)conferences before? Nostrasia was my first and only so far but the people were so awesome and the vibes so good that I'm seriously kicking myself for missing Riga.
Next could be Sydney or Melbourne in Australia btw! (Nostralia ?!)

I think we should be tagging along on a Bitcoin related event - the synergy of joint onboarding is too good to miss. Both sides win. Are there any Bitcoin conferences in Australia?
I'm really interested in this idea.
How to do many tag-on events without generating the same amount of burnout that many feel from bitcoin conferences these days.
The big one is Bitcoin Alive - usually on in late March or April from memory. Would be cool if they pushed it back though to do it back to back with a Nostralia!
Maybe Singapore? Or Thailand
Know of anything planned for Australia ? Would love to attend something more local
