Now what happens to all these wonderful platforms if 10 people with millions of followers decide to leave X and move to Nostr and announce: "We're leaving, we're not ashamed of it, from now on, we're gonna post on Nostr"? All your monetization models are destroyed. Completely devastated.
Fully agree with @preston in #Nostriga panel that the heavy lifting of bringing the masses to Nostr is going to be done by governments increasing censorship, surveillance and further clamp down on free online speech. The pace at which Nostr develops in terms of UX, different applications and their interoperability is awesome, and it's humbling to have a front row seat to this development by virtue of being a bitcoiner. But the reality is that the majority of people in the world need (a lot) more pain to understand they need Nostr. The most important thing is that Nostr and all its potential use cases are mature and low threshold enough as an alternative internet by that time. image
Going through the usual human cattle handling ritual to get to #Nostriga and #BH2024... Flying through Stockholm, hopefully in time for @Knut Svanholm ∞/21M & @Luke de Wolf #bitcoin infinity day and book presentation party 😁. @Hodl Hodl image

If you believe politicians or don't get that bitcoin doesn't need them, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.
Voting is the adult equivalent of writing a letter to Santa Claus...
So-called bitcoiners cheering for a Presidential elections candidate who promises to keep bitcoin the government confiscated, need to read more Rothbard. image

The main reason for rejecting Bitcoin is cognitive dissonance. For most, it's too hard to accept they believed the lies of the fiat system. For gold bugs, it's too hard to accept they didn't believe the lies of the fiat system, but something other than metal is the solution. image
