To me, it’s becoming clear: the hub for Bitcoin discussion and community is shifting towards NOSTR.
There are still a ton of Bitcoiners on Twitter, and a lot of good information there, but the momentum and directionality are undeniable.
From what I understand, the Bitcoin community has always evolved its home base. It started on cypherpunk mailing lists, moved to Bitcoin Talk forums, then Reddit, then Twitter. Now it’s moving to NOSTR.
It would be crazy to think the right place for discussion and collaboration wouldn’t change over time. Blame Elon if you want for pushing Bitcoiners away from Twitter, but I think NOSTR was going to win regardless. A free, open, and customizable platform is just a better fit for this community.
What makes NOSTR special is the people—the super early adopters who’ve built something amazing here. Over the last two years, I’ve watched the growth in both the community and the quality of the experience. It’s been incredible to see.
Zaps have become the standard, and the momentum is clear.
The hub for Bitcoiners has always evolved, and now it’s NOSTR’s time.
