A lot of people wonder why Bitcoin has such a strong presence here on Nostr. It's honestly quite simple. Besides the overlap of Bitcoin developers building Nostr, both protocols compliment one another and share the same ethos.
Bitcoin and Nostr are two protocols that have the potential to revolutionize the way we communicate and transact with the world around us.
Both protocols are designed to be censorship-resistant and decentralized, which means that they cannot be controlled by any single entity. This makes them ideal for those who value freedom.
Both protocols allow the user to be in control of their own transactions, whether that be financial transactions or social communication transactions. With Bitcoin and Nostr, there is no need to trust a third party.
You don't have to be a Bitcoiner to use Nostr, but understanding why Bitcoiners value Nostr is better than writing off the whole protocol. I hope this helps new Nostriches. <3
