I dont just mean Bitcoiners vs Bluehairsky. I mean their experience, talent, and reputation.<br/><br/>I mean the most talented and resourceful people; people that innovate, and have deep expertise. Why aren't they leaving where they are to build here? <br/><br/>Examples: Bitcoin Core devs, shitcoin expert devs that really do want to fix things, talented cryptographers, deeply experienced systems/p2p people, experienced entrepreneurs, reputable VCs and funders.<br/><br/>The closest I see here are people that got Bitcoin-rich and are now learning how to be angels by naively funding their friends and dead-end startup projects that arent much better than weekend hackathon submissions. A sandbox for playing. <br/><br/>Everything worth anything here is a subdivision of Bitcoin culture itself and Bitcoin privilege. Bitcoin is the only provider of talent and resources to Nostr. That worked great to bootstrap from nothing, but now what?<br/><br/>Deal with this, and figure out how to be relevant to other people, or Nostr will continue to be nothing more than a perpetual hackathon sandbox subsidized by a Bitcoiner ego-cult. </blockquote> 2025-07-12T23:31:51Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2vwxdmxyyra57m9e7hv9s3k44k0vxxz5u2x0hlqjk3r2s5wg0wjczypgvdn3wd88shtmek5jg3vsyrrz2d7w200g2ce2tgcjdtsp9eatak87g4ke In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfwq6cfde4fyd6x4urzwavy2qxvsemuthz8h3q266fuhpc9l7rctcfkl7cs'>nevent1q…l7cs</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>If it&#39;s a &#39;company&#39; then it wont be able to actually provide true privacy for its users 2025-06-29T15:41:48Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqzsd2fslyxez887qql0dln5yp5waphtqqdc9uvmw4ezxdn5ncexgzypgvdn3wd88shtmek5jg3vsyrrz2d7w200g2ce2tgcjdtsp9eataknpxk4s In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg5xd8693lumvmx590hypfwr7a9n5w8gz6s3n8m994mzwdzyy07lc0l48ux'>nevent1q…48ux</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Imagine being a Bitcoiner (Libertarian) and then also agaisnt Free Markets... 2025-04-12T08:57:42Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqfyttf2f5nfvr9c5la0t2w47tspn22dp9upt8cpfl2n2mr3trfsszypgvdn3wd88shtmek5jg3vsyrrz2d7w200g2ce2tgcjdtsp9eataky834uc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswtff9x02rkjwa5lm8anppr8umlj8u97qz9j95fgraqfwzkukv25sf3a5c6'>nevent1q…a5c6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>What about hotpotato currency?<br/><br/> <img src="https://image.nostr.build/381fe88fdedd6fc838cb031203b3e4377527fc3ac325e147d919b34ab38d26f1.jpg"> 2025-04-03T15:50:41Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsym8tyhexzshgkm396hv7j5n658gldwv38uawypl00u2kxsk5rvmczypgvdn3wd88shtmek5jg3vsyrrz2d7w200g2ce2tgcjdtsp9eatakqhdsls Gimp would get +21M% more users &amp; +21M% more donations IF they simply copied Adobe Photoshop UI.

If you bought a hardware wallet from a company, you have effectively announced to the world, including governments and potential threats, that you own #bitcoin. At some point, they will come after you and your coins. Good luck.<br/><br/>#privacy #opsec 2024-06-16T13:45:33Z
