I dont just mean Bitcoiners vs Bluehairsky. I mean their experience, talent, and reputation.&#xA;&#xA;I mean the most talented and resourceful people; people that innovate, and have deep expertise. Why aren&#39;t they leaving where they are to build here? &#xA;&#xA;Examples: Bitcoin Core devs, shitcoin expert devs that really do want to fix things, talented cryptographers, deeply experienced systems/p2p people, experienced entrepreneurs, reputable VCs and funders.&#xA;&#xA;The closest I see here are people that got Bitcoin-rich and are now learning how to be angels by naively funding their friends and dead-end startup projects that arent much better than weekend hackathon submissions. A sandbox for playing. &#xA;&#xA;Everything worth anything here is a subdivision of Bitcoin culture itself and Bitcoin privilege. Bitcoin is the only provider of talent and resources to Nostr. That worked great to bootstrap from nothing, but now what?&#xA;&#xA;Deal with this, and figure out how to be relevant to other people, or Nostr will continue to be nothing more than a perpetual hackathon sandbox subsidized by a Bitcoiner ego-cult.</html></oembed>
