 CEO of massive “crypto” exchange doesn’t mention #Bitcoin in post about “the Internet of Money.”


We are so fucking early… https://i.nostr.build/2EHz0K7DotzliYab.jpg  
 🤡 
 Ugh. Gross.  
 Stretch is a gambler, an egoist and is being kept out of jail by suits that think they understand btc 
 He's a fucking snake. Bitcoin is the only "crypto" that's being used anywhere in the world. How many fucking Ethereum villages and towns exist where hundreds of vendors are selling goods for bitcoin? How many Solana towns? How many Doge villages? Brian can EAD. 
 must we swear? 
 Maybe we need nostr clients that support inline overwrites of curse words

airhead
banana
clump
dagnabbit
floundering
etc.

or just ***** them out

 Maybe you need to grow the fuck up and stop being pussies.  
 Take your Bitcoin sacrement and repent for the blasphemy!

 Ah fuck. It flew over my head, didn't it.
 
 Exactly. Some people need to grow a pair. 
 im just shocked... he was so innocent. 
 lols 
 Yes. 
 I thought you were writing EOD. End of Day… took me a minute. 😋 
 Tron is pretty heavily used 
 😂 where can I travel and live for a week on Tron? 
 A Bitcoiner friend of mine came back from El Salvador about three months ago. He said literally no one would take Bitcoin. He was able to use USDT several places. I've used USDT in Southeast Asia (Vietnam and Thailand) much more often than Bitcoin. I think I've seen videos by nostr:nprofile1qqs034ppyjnjakycjcj84kgj737aw6kxkmxazrlp0r67qjk0atgdfgspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszythwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn99usy20wr in Europe where they couldn't take Bitcoin, but did they did take stable coins. Tron is by far the biggest network for stable coins. Where can you live on Bitcoin outside of circular Bitcoin economies? 
 Oh wow. I never seen USD accepted in Thailand
 
 It's not common at all. My experience is that any crypto or Bitcoin is the same practically: virtually no one wants to take them, so you can cash out from a local exchange to local currency. People do generally want and understand dollars as the best currency. That's an easier sell than Bitcoin for now. I did use lightning twice in Vietnam. There's an app called Neutron pay that connects Vietnamese banks to a lightning wallet. My Vietnamese brother-in-law asks for USDT any time I want to send him Bitcoin. 
 Usdt in El Salvador? I’d love to investigate!

Yah I’ve seen it a bit but it’s way less prevalent than btc.  
 That's great to hear. I was bummed to hear my friend's experience. He did spend a lot of time in smaller towns, so maybe that's the difference 
 Fucking right. 
 At this point, there are enough of us Bitcoiners to just build our own system. We can hold the door open for anyone that wants to join us, but unfortunately ding dongs like Brian will continue to distract "retail", "normies", "no coiners" from finding us. I've shifted my focus solely on building the coordination, cooperation, and coelessence of the existing Bitcoiners. In my opinion, Bitcoiners will get more benefit by shifting the focus to strengthening Bitcoin community and culture rather than trying to drag new people into the fray. Earn Bitcoin, mine Bitcoin, spend Bitcoin, go to Bitcoin meetups, spend Bitcoin with Bitcoiners, keep your sats local. Nostr is a location for Bitcoiners to build cultural capital and circular economies beyond the local meetups. Nostr is for Bitcoiners by Bitcoiners.  
 Sounds good where do we sign up?   
 Find your local meetup or start one?

 He is not making enough money only by exchanging and custody bitcoins. To grow his revenue he must promote everything that will help him make even more money.

Still ENS was for me the best achievement on Ethereum, I would love to see an equivalent on Bitcoin, there was this .btc stuff but it was not really on Bitcoin and using yet another shitcoin if remember well. Anyrhing else? Or shouldnwe use nostr for decentralized, censorship-resistant domain name and easy to read bitcoin address mapping? 
 Fine because ENS exposes everything. Dorsey’s web5 DIDs sound legit in comparison. 
 He is a fiat maxi pretending to like cryto 😂 
 Or no maxi at all? 
 Mofo's always gonna be MoFo's 
 Send some missionary's! 
 Coinbase will eventually be steamrolled by the competition. They are small potatoes in the grand scheme, with pretty bad UX, and no long term advantage on custody or trading.  
 Makes me want to join Twatter X just so I can get banned again for telling this jackass where to stuff his Base, ENS, USDC and smart wallets. 
 Brian arm is strong for this one because that’s all he is thinking about for this one, his own “head /dick”

Fueling that legacy mindset thinking.

#Bitcoin is the only truth, the way, the light  
 ENS is, from a technical standpoint, absolute trash

Can't believe people can shill blockchains for identity while nostr exists 
 Amazing. What a dope. 
 The larp is insane 
 Good. I need to stack more and cant afford another 10000% increase next year 😂  
 Blockchain and cryptography, now known as crypto, are often seen as useful for a wide range of applications. 

However, while cryptography has countless valuable uses, blockchain, outside of #bitcoin is largely useless. This misunderstanding makes the crypto industry an ideal environment for bad actors. Brian is one of them. 
 devil's advocate. we wouldn't have tornado cash without eth 
 Armstrong is a gambler, he’s not a Bitcoiner in any way. 
 Wait. Is Coinbase the matrix? 
 He needs to pump garbage to make money. 
 No, he’s just a corrupt mofo. 
 We get the message Brian, Coinbase wants nothing to do with bitcoin. 
 This serves as a stark reminder of why Bitcoin must prevail, history is written by the winners. 
 He had to brag about his own first 😂
Forgetting which crypto paved the way 
 Brian is living up to the rich, Bald ,evil stereotype. “Brian Armstrong , sounds like a serial killer. Is that what you are Brian”  
 wtf is the stable medium of exchange?? who tf is this guy 
 Crypto crowd love ignoring bitcoin. 

I'm amazing at the cash and capital invested in crypto projects in my country.  Hundreds of millions.

 What a fucking fire meme 🔥 
 Aye, for the reocrd, not my creation.  Loved it so much I saved it on my device.  
 To accurate, Bitcoin is the only one that fits the definition of a cryptocurrency.
The shitcoins use that name the same as political parties use the word "democracy" lol 
 He together with EF gang only shill things in their bag. They are standard crony capitalism. 
 What the hell  
 So wait, a guy who make money every time someone changes one 'crypto' for another, is suggesting that we need lots of different 'cryptos' for the internet of money to work?   
 cope and sneed. the EVM is useful and people want to use it. stop having a pisspants crybaby tantrum and activate some Bitcoin opcodes to make Ethereum redundant. 
 WTF are you smoking? All other projects are at best centralized garbage, at worst outright scams.
