nostr is great, but nothing mentioned here is true. don’t encourage neojournalist blowhards
quotingWhy aren't altcoiners moving to Nostr?

They're used to bribing centralized entities to integrate their coin. Exchanges list them, websites cover them, wallets add them. Even Twitter has the NFT profile pics. But they can't do that on Nostr.
And further, the Lightning integration means they have to use Bitcoin! The sad fact is that for all their developers, altcoins don't have anything like lightning. And they know if they come here, they're going to need to convert some of their stash.
It'll be fun to watch the VCs try to downplay Nostr's significance as they try to protect their bags. But it won't work. An actual decentralized network is forming and their centralized crap won't work here.
Let them have centralized platforms. Decentralized money belongs on a decentralized platform.
