Sadly, when you've been in and around bitcoin circles for long enough, and meet people in real life, you realise a bunch of industry leader types are legit sociopaths, and not great people. You have to try playing nice, but yeah, they suck. A few of them are inevitably here in nostr, but beyond that, every nostr person I have met in real life is thoroughly lovely.
My brother and I absolutely loved meeting you in person at #nostriga!
Unfortunately, I agree with you on your perspective and it extends into a very industry. The personality type that is drawn to leadership can sometimes be one of sociopathy.
This is true in almost every field/industry.
Most “leaders” and “experts” have just been around long enough or faked it until they made it. Only a few legit experts out there and those are typically decent people, the rest are just trying to enlarge their ego, profit, or both.

Can confirm this is the case in both film and oilfield as well, but really - probably every industry as @tonycarrera says. I definitely see it more and more at these bitcoin conferences I go to as well - but I will say - there are some solid folks mixed in that are at a lot of these as well. Once you know who they are it makes these events better. Takes time to build these relationships though.
Right.
It’s that 80/20 rule again.
80% jerks
20% good folks
I'm not sure what it means to be an industry leader type of person, but most of the prominant people I have met have been pretty great 🤷♂
Saylor is 100% Sociopath.
i thought Lyn was better but when she failed to condemn Gaza Genocide because it would offend Jewish Bankers i was forced to unfollow her
she knows exactly what is going on both because i explained it to her and because her husband is Egyptian - but she pretends not to understand
anybody who puts money over the lives of children is not my friend
Thanks for sharing this, I've always had a suspicion that she was an infiltrator. Now I know for sure.
1. If the sun (or x) took out all electronics tomorrow I’d survive off the land & resources currently available. #Permaculture That is what I mean about being self-sovereign. 😊
2. Lived majority of my life offline & only #nostr to unite 99% to rise & demand better from the 1%
I’ve said #eattherich before & explained it. You can look 👀 I’m “rich” by most standards.
3. All the tech questions don’t apply to me on the level they do most #btc people because:
A: I’ve never intentionally sought to exploit another human for my personal benefit. Nor did I seek to exploit any natural resources beyond the small amount needed. I’ve been successful financially & have always given back to #humanity
B. I’m well aware that the world has been manipulated to make the tip top 1% wealthier
C. Financial resources or **power** dynamics don’t matter to me in the way it does to some. Humans automatically get my respect 🫡 based solely on being human. It’s up to them to lose it.
D. Already stated multiple times the #btc I’ve made will be donated to charity & to honor #AaronSwartz as he must be remembered.
Did I answer your question?

I think this is a general phenomenon with leadership positions. The nature of the work creates selective pressure for sociopathic traits.
those types of roles do often seem to attract and select for those personalities
There is lots of money circulating around bitcoin, and where there is money, there is politics, haven’t been in these circles, but I can imagine its full of scum. Nostr is still very new and doesn’t have these incentives, so it remains pure.
See, I think that's it. Not having it being a money project means we are less likely to get the baddies.
