On one hand, that's unprofessional and a shitty outlook to have with people coming to you in good spirit. On the other, the religious bitcoin platitudes that flood every user's feed on their first test is the ultimate boner shrinker and will hold back the platform. Most of you disagree because you're the problem lol. People think it's not a problem because later on it will be big enough and impressive enough that the bitcoin single focus will not be around. However, I've not seen any sign of this, especially since you'll see things on a lot of nostr services like "by bitcoiners for bitcoiners" and other stuff. Note that other protocols that focus on a *eclectic user-bases* are going to find success even if the tech is less ideal. And after a certain point, nostr will just permanently branded as a bitcoiner only environment. The other protocols will also have time to adjust and get better too, but they'll *already* have a diverse user group.

And that might be a good goal for nostr if that's the goal, but it's not the goal i hear from most nostr devs. If the goal is to revolutionize connecting applications/users, you need to *want* other people here as a top priority. On a positive note, I heard Stuart of Satellite.earth was working on communities based around relays. I think an app based on discovering relay communities could be a big step forward in preventing the softening/drying out everyone's cult-averse genitals who give nostr a test run. It's a shame because the protocol has got to be the closest to the right design ever created.
