The claim was:
Not:
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.
OK. The inventor of nostr's own wiki entry for nostr defines it as a thing for sending tweets, with zero mention of exchanging cryptocurrency.
Also, as a nostr veteran, I have no idea how you'd exchange cryptocurrency on nostr except just asking random people to trade with you. I don't see why you wouldn't just use bisq or haveno if you want decentralized crypto trading
I don't know why you would refer to a man who believes Bitcoin is a gift from God as evidence his protocol isn't about Bitcoin
It's probably not about Bitcoin (in the long run) but it's definitely not started as a crypto exchange like the original claim said
More like started as a twitter full of people obsessed with bitcoin
Then you don't know how burden of proof works. Instead of demanding that you back up your claim, I accepted that you wanted to water it down and refine it into something you could better defend. Which is a very milque-toast, who-cares claim.
Do you want me to have forced you to back up your original claim and devolve into semantics?
I provided proof. With links.
Will you back up your claims that the Bitcoin crap that infests the app and its community is just a coincidence?
Do you genuinely believe that? Or do you just think that everybody here is gullible?
I don't get how you can blatantly lie like this and have vote scores that make it look otherwise.
Would you like to claim that Bitcoin crap doesn't infest Nostr?
Of course I wouldn't
To be fair, I have some dedicated fans following me around to downvote me and post snark.
Sigh, I guess you do want to play games.
Okay -- no you didn't. Neither of those links demonstrate that the purpose behind creating Nostr was to exchange cryptocurrency. Would you like to try again? Or accept that you didn't mean it like that?
Did you reply to the wrong person or something...? I never made any claims like that...
Either you believe that the Bitcoin infestation is all just a total coincidence, or you don't. Why don't you tell us what you think, instead of JAQing off about it?
Of course it's not a coincidence.
Now would you like to back up your original claim, or admit that it wasn't what you meant? I didn't want to play these stupid games, but clearly you have an agenda here.
Great.
Bye.
Better luck next time!
