@mmasnick I'm also impressed by all the development activity on top of Nostr.

I'm hoping that will change if more non-bitcoin-people join, but I suspect there's going to be an awful lot of cryptocurrency-only features.

@KelsonV yeah, that's my take as well. the crypto focus people are kind of a drag on nostr. but it has potential.

@mmasnick Yea that's actually a small gripe I had with your blog post. I feel it doesn't really go into the bitcoin stuff with #nostr while it also could be read to imply that #SSB has blockchain in it somewhere.
Great post either way! I learned a lot about bluesky.
