  The protocol was built to exchange cryptocurrency over it.

  No it wasn’t…

    instead of asking obviously leading questions, why not tell people what you know?

      What’s wrong with using rhetorical questions as a response when people talk shit without expanding on it?

        depends on the thing you’re asking about.

      That wasn’t a question…

      If people are going to make wild assertions, I’m going to question them about them.

        your previous two replies were. and by “just asking questions” about things you obviously know more about, you’re not adding to the conversation.

    Can you provide any counterevidence to the claims?

    To quote them: “Nostr was kickstarted mostly by a community of Bitcoiners, so it has disproportionately attracted the attention of Bitcoiners.”

    The “optional” Bitcoin payment system is baked into the biggest Nostr clients.

      The claim was:

      The protocol was built to exchange cryptocurrency over it.

      Not:

      The protocol attracted attention primarily from Bitcoiners who built tools around it to support payments

      The new, watered-down framing of your claim sorta just makes me think: “Okay? And?”

        I asked you for counterevidence to the claims, not apologism. The fact they left the smoking gun on their own website is enough for me, but clearly you have an agenda of your own.

        Unless you expect everyone here to believe that the protocol, the clients, the funders, and the creators all just coincidentally love Bitcoin, you’ve got a lot of explaining to do.
