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
