 I have a hard time understanding why more crypto people aren’t coming to Nostr 
 Hey! Thanks for your reply, I’m merely looking for like-minded people. It started as a question / conversation, why did it turn into a lecture?

I’m well aware of what Bitcoin is and what it represents, I’ve been in the space 7 years.

I’m on Damus, where apparently it’s mostly maxis, exactly BECAUSE I’m not in it for the moon and CT does have its limits. I want thinking and innovation, I’m fascinated by the tech, but to claim that BTC has not shortcomings is a lie. CSW is suing BTC devs to force them to fork the code to return him the BTCs he lost in MtGox. Can they do it? Yes. Could Mining pools be sued in their turn to endorse the fork? Yes. So seems there’s a problem.

Nothing in life is perfect, BTC isn’t a religion and the White Paper isn’t a Bible. And if they were, know that no war of religion ended up with either side winning.

We shouldn’t expect the WP to be faultless supposed and stare at problems without hope. As all tech, BTC is a work in progress. So screw the problems, and let’s talk about solutions. I love solutions, I’m a problem solver and working on my own solutions to some of BTCs shortcomings. So is this a place where people are open to listening?
