nicodemus (npub1qqq…ryz3) it’s not a problem that there is a robust community of bitcoiners on Nostr. The problem is that is very hard for other unrelated communities to form on Nostr and grow.
Nostr as it currently works tends to push people in to the one big tightly connected conversation. It’s why mostly Nostr is in English with a smaller community in Chinese, Japanese, and Thai. With languages that are closer to English they’ve had a harder time creating the space and connection to develop.
As long as it’s hard to find these other communities then people will join and say, oh I don’t care about bitcoin so much, this place isn’t for me. Or “mierda, mi gusta bitcoin pero no se ni pomo como hablar en inglés, entonces nostr no es para mi, tampoco.”
We can solve this but we need to listen to the folks who join but don’t stick around.
