  1. Lightning isn’t Bitcoin

  2. Taping Lightning to the side of nostr sucks, but doesn’t reduce it to “little more than Twitter”

  I don’t think that’s entirely fair; the Nostr protocol has a modular design philosophy, with most components being optional addons, including the Bitcoin payments stuff. It’s genuinely decentralized and explicitly made to be easy to not use any baggage you don’t like.

  It’s unclear from the article if the use of the protocol will also mean overlap with the content and community of Nostr, which is understandable to criticize, but the protocol itself is just another take on decentralized social media that does things differently than activitypub.

  What makes Nostr like Bitcoin?

    The protocol was built to exchange cryptocurrency over it. Today, basically nobody uses it except for cryptocurrency shills.

        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.

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