so, i've been nosing around #nostr for the past couple of days, and honestly, nothing about it really call my name. i went as far as to create a lightning wallet (serious "iugh" here). i'm seriously disappointed with the whole thing because it seems like it's just a circlejerk of #cryptobros all completely obsessed with #bitcoin and nothing else, all around.
and you know what bugs me the most? it's all about money. there's no real substance. money, money, btc, transactions, bad-bank, money again, etc.
it's like they're more of a cult than a community, totally closed off to newcomers (you might as well not exist if you're new). and just like bluesky and x, it's all about these celebrity-like accounts, just circling around each other, shutting out the rest of us.
everything just feels so phony and false: the woke posts from nostr-client developers (looks like everyone is "building tools" for it), the so-called tech gurus, even jack himself; not to mention all the users pushing web-3 crap. just crypto, money, "i am rich because of btc" and more boring stuff.
anyway, i've kept my npub just for laughs, and because i think there's a chance it could be taken over by some genuinely interesting people and i can't wait for it to happen and try again.
