Better luck next time!

Either you believe that the Bitcoin infestation is all just a total coincidence, or you don’t.

Of course it's not a coincidence.

Now would you like to back up your original claim, or admit that it wasn't what you meant? I didn't want to play these stupid games, but clearly you have an agenda here.

I provided proof. With links.

Sigh, I guess you do want to play games.

Okay -- no you didn't. Neither of those links demonstrate that the purpose behind creating Nostr was to exchange cryptocurrency. Would you like to try again? Or accept that you didn't mean it like that?

Will you back up your claims that the Bitcoin crap that infests the app and its community is just a coincidence?

Did you reply to the wrong person or something...? I never made any claims like that...

I asked you for counterevidence to the claims, not apologism.

Then you don't know how burden of proof works. Instead of demanding that you back up your claim, I accepted that you wanted to water it down and refine it into something you could better defend. Which is a very milque-toast, who-cares claim.

Do you want me to have forced you to back up your original claim and devolve into semantics?

The claim was:

The protocol was built to exchange cryptocurrency over it.

Not:

The protocol attracted attention primarily from Bitcoiners who built tools around it to support payments

The new, watered-down framing of your claim sorta just makes me think: "Okay? And?"

I mean, re-reading, I guess I should have asked how it's like Twitter. Lightning being duct-taped to the side, while being normatively loaded, is actually accurate since the lightning integration is just that. One protocol interacting with another.

Which one?

So if someone says "the moon is made is of unicorns" and I say "what are you talking about? no it isn't..." is that JAQing off? I'd call it challenging someone making an absurd claim.

There aren't any concepts or domain expertise I'm hiding here -- I'm merely saying "wtf are you talking about??" to someone spouting off random nonsense.
