Our focus is on fostering developer talent in the global south and supporting the free and open-source Bitcoin ecosystem. Founded in 2021 with a generous 500 BTC donation from Jack Dorsey and Jay-Z, we believe that decentralization of the people building for and on Bitcoin enhances its resilience, reach, and relevance as a global currency."
I remember the announcement of this!! It was really exciting. I feel like that was around the same time (or within a year) Megan thee stallion partnered with Cashapp and promoted bitcoin. What’s tea?? I figured Jack found something out about the industry and separated himself best he could. If you look at the fruits of his labor they don’t tend to represent wickedness. He comes off as a genuine person that enjoys what he does and wants to help best he can when he believes in it. But idk him personally so anything is possible. They were all in the Super Bowl box together but that also could’ve been an obligation since Tidal and JayZ work with the NFL. JAYZ is wicked. I’ve thought so since the H to the izo song. It’s blasphemous that he renamed himself that and people praise him like he’s some sort of god. I just don’t know if they’re gonna bring him down? Or if he sold out Diddy, Rkelly, and his wife to preserve himself… idk. What’re you thinking?
I am thinking it is going to blow up in MSM that Jay Z is linked to Bitcoin. Be prepared for (more relentless) bad press.
Oh lolol, I totally disagree. JayZ was dissed by Tupac in the 90’s and tossed Dame Dash aside in the 2000’s and went on tour with Rkelly in 2002. He was sheisty long before he ever heard of bitcoin. By the 2010’s he was going by hov and was a major player in the music industry. His wife has always been a media darling. Even if they tried to connect Jay to bitcoin it’s not going to do anything but make more people curious about it. His die hard fans will probably see it as protection against the FEDS and those who find him deplorable won’t care one way from Friday. I think his ties to Bitcoin will further prove whether or not he is a trash human especially if the organization was to help empower people with Bitcoin and he used it to launder money instead. Worst to worst more FUD comes out but that’s also good for Bitcoin.
YOU TELL THEM BELLE <3
😂 I’m just so excited to share my thoughts on the whole thing. I’ve been so invested since I grew up a hiphop head and now all the heroes of the late 90’s early 2000’s have fallen. It’s crazy.
