Oddbean new post about login | logout And here is the last one cherry on top of it! The companies who are sponsoring this crap! Booooo on you! 👎 nostr:note1wk9k70y2pnwxkswspjulmkgeq02d6wvu2fue5lthjpkx844cdm7s9zqasu https://m.primal.net/JeBu.mov
There are some legit companies there that have done great work for #bitcoin 🤷♂️
Not having principles is weak! Grift and fiat chasing is the hell of the drug!
I think having principles and being human (allowing for mistakes) are different and both needed / useful 🫂
I would consider allowing for mistakes if this wasn’t about #Bitcoin
Lol idk id buy some compass coffee with some sats, what have they done for your disapproval 😅 Fyi, i have no ties to them and this is the first time hearing about them. Just using as an example. Perhaps im ignorant of their misdoing as well.
Sponsoring this shitcoin conference. That may not be as important to you. For many, shitcoinery is a hard no. Also, Fuck Robert Bitclout Breedlove
🌶️🌶️🌶️ 🫂🫂🫂 Its nuanced and convoluted, directly or indirectly we are a community
Sounds like communism Kill it with fire
Agree with you (especially Xapo Bank = deep state) and would not give that conference a dime however... there's nothing we can really change, can we? It will happen anyway
Don’t give the money to the scammers let them go bankrupt
Who are you talking to?
You asked about what we can do to change I answered
Sure man but that changes nothing because neither you nor I give money to those scammers
True! But calling out scammers and spooks maybe will open the eyes those who are still a part of this camp
That's fair. I guess I don't see it having much effect (especially on nostr) but I could be totally wrong
It has. There are a lot of newcomers on here who have no clue who is who, someone has to tell them. I hate doing this and I also hate knowing the fact that plebs are silent
Now i understand better 🫡🔥💯
I tried zapping but perhaps tor is slow this morning
It’s because I have to redeem zaps manually
Fancy 😎
🤘
Yeah I think you are. I wasnt aware of all these companies. Glad to see it. Many of the usual suspects, but some surprises in there. Im not going to disgard these companies immediately, but it's not a great look. I really dont understand why people sponsor these things. And I dont understand why people go to these things. What is the appeal? "Networking"? Most of the people there barely know a thing about bitcoin or were even around. We organized the first bitcoin conference and it was a nice thing. I had dinner with sipa, and hung out with amir, max kieser gave a talk in crazy trainers. People talked about bitcoin and growing the project. I've been to many conferences since, and they are largely the same talks. People LARPing all the time. People that generally know nothing. I dont even see this mysterious networking. Networking for what, I dont get it. I cant even afford to go to btc conferences any more even in my home town, and wouldnt know anyone there. I dont understand this at all. Any ideas?
These companies are in desperate need of fiat and simps ! I had a talk with one of the guys don’t want to doxx but as he said: “I go there to shill the product, so plebs can pay for my living” that’s what everything is about. There is 0 signal over there and it’s just a shame for everyone who have been in this space for years to support trump rally! This is where they headed ! And what more funny is to see their notes with “fuck government” slogans ! Really circus
But why do the plebs go? Just marketing and hype? Do they think they'll get free bitcoin? Do they think seeing a talk live is better than youtube? Do they think they'll meet someone and get a job? I dont see the hook.
I wish I would have an answer. Probably because they want to make a connections to get a job or to shill their projects
You just did free advertising for all of the companies. 👏
Good! Maybe people will stop using their products
Why would they do that?
Why would I use products that are sponsoring scams and politicians ?!
Because maybe they aren’t directly sponsoring them. They are sponsoring many other great things going on. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.
🤣🤣🤣
