Should Bitcoin maxis go on crypto podcasts and preach Bitcoin only to the shitcoiners? 🤔
No fan of the bankless guys but they do have bitcoiners on a decent amount.
Few people like to be preached at rather I'd like to see maxis go out there and plant seeds. Shitcoiners are just bitcoiners on a slow road to awakening.
this - I actually like this very point about what Saylor is doing. You can for sure debate his talk about buying on leverage (etc.) but going out there, putting publicly BTC on the MSTR balance sheet and showing how it can be done is a good strategy, imo
Only if they have the patience to communicate effectively
Yes, shitcoiners are the ones who are ahead on the learning curve. Or not?
they do have more experience with scams 😁
Debates are healthy. People should welcome opposing views
Yes, that's what saved me. Robert Breedlove @breedlove22 went on the invest answers youtube shitcoin show. He was asked if he held any shitcoins and he said he only has bitcoin because it is perfect and he doesn't need anything else. I was intrigued by such a "bizarre statement" so I started listening to the what is money podcast. Then I started listening to @jimmysong who really called shitcoins out as a scam. Next was @saifedean and I became bitcoin only one month before luna and the exchanges imploded. My life savings were in USDC earning yield on voyager at the time. So I think a bitcoin maxi occasionally preaching to the shitcoin podcasts can save someone from getting absolutely wrecked. nostr:note1uxeejl0mc7y88xcx96lvqa0duxht6fq5ngvyxmu4j0alnfuy8s0qg0qztr
It's pretty unlikely that puritanical moralizing will successfully convert a nontrivial subset of the population.
I'll try to just use facts and logic, no moralizing.

This is the way. ✨🙏
Agreed. The get rich quick mindset can’t fade soon enough as far as I’m concerned. Seeking fiat wealth, or measuring success in fiat terms is antithetical.
And unfortunately, many maximalists are still guilty of preaching a certain Fiat value as their main endpoint.
And that value is 0 : ie: Your surveillance/ponzi/slave coin is going to 0 .
Yep, agreed
Shit Ben Arc is on Nostr how'd I miss that ?
I even wrote a couple of those nips you're using
Are you fucking serious man , who else is hiding on here that I dont know about , this has my head wrecked now. Onky found out the other day Edward Snowden is on like ...
Unlikely ? So you're saying theres a chance ?
Yes
Yes. When I first heard about BTC I went on Twitter and came across pomp. I started listening to his podcasts and he interviewed a lot of great maxis... back then... Thats how I found @stephanlivera, @ODELL, @MartyBent and from those podcasts @NVK, and others.... I rotated my time away from pomp and started curating a list of maxis for my education.
Oh pomp… like so many that have lost their way.
Pomp is a sad story indeed. Still, I'm grateful for his enthusiasm and for showing me the various paths and personalities in this space. Luckily, I was able to discern the chaff from the wheat and moved on🤙
Fair play, you made it out of the quicksand .
You lose your carkeys , you dont lose your way , you make s conciouss descision to act like a dipshit. Fuck Pomp, he deserves a flurry of slaps.
hmm. this is a very fair point. my first 6-12 months of podcasts and youtube were things like laura shin and bogus cryptoheads. thankfully found some signal, in large part thanks to the taco plebs on twitter. maybe it is good for more bitcoin speakers to be on shitcoiner podcasts after all
It's another onramp for normies. And an opportunity for maxis to counter the narratives. ✨🙏
Pomp is a shithead, he gets decent talkers on as a smokescreen for his shilling .
It is a sign of personal growth and mastery when you can discern the faults in your teachers, and move beyond them, with a mixture of gratitude and sadness for their unfilled potential.
I visited shitcoin podcasts around a dozen times. Shitcoiners are pretty hard to convert as most of them believe they are one step ahead and bitcoins is an inferior tech compared to shitcoins. Nevertheless, I did see some fruits of my effort. I guess it is worth trying.
Yes! Most maximalists have a shitcoin past. It’s important to help other see the truth. https://image.nostr.build/04a6e023f1bfc6f81769a9eeba75918b6a855c04357746bc508a1f39530bbbd5.jpg
Yes it will help them understand the differences and more easily transition into the bitcoin world that is coming despite any of their views
