Oh yeah, it’s impossible to browse those Nostr platforms without seeing a LOT of stuff about Bitcoin. They’re obsessed with it over there.
They mostly seem like decent people though. It’s a more positive culture than Lemmy, but lots of Bitcoin noise to scroll through. It’s unfortunate, because Nostr seems like cool tech
😆 well… To be fair to them[1], I don’t think they’re quite like that.
I don’t think of them as stereotypical “crypto bros.” They’re a little different. They seem to specifically love Bitcoin and its original philosophies[2] from the early days, before other cryptocurrencies appeared. IIRC (I went down a bit of a rabbit hole on this a while back, but have forgotten a lot), a few of them were very early Bitcoin collaborators/developers, and some even collaborated with Satoshi Nakamoto.
I don’t want to paint a wrong or “bad” picture of them because they really seem like nice people. The overall culture there seems more positive than any other social media platform that I’ve seen. ↩︎
I’m no expert on the original Bitcoin motives, but as far as I can tell, they still think of Bitcoin as a currency, not a commodity or speculative asset like most Bitcoin holders/traders use it today. ↩︎
