At the Bitcoin Conference, people could pay for photographs with politicians. Or pay more for a dinner with them.
So when you see an awkward pic with some bitcoiner next to a politician, there’s a good chance they paid for it.
I think most people know that, but for those that don’t, keep that in mind.
All else being equal, the more awkward the pic looks, the more likely they paid for it.
You can not fake authenticity
Does paying for it mean it was wanted less or more?
Wanted by the bitcoiner, paying money to the politician as a contribution.
Okay, wanted by the bitcoiner. Doesn’t automatically mean it’s a bad thing though. There is no shortage of awkward bitcoiners ready to pay for things they want. In general, just don’t draw conclusions from photos of people standing next to each other?
I should note: I have no idea about what may be going on. Did someone take a picture with someone else, causing scandal?
Proof of bootlicker tendencies
I wouldn't want to pay money to get a photo or dinner with a politician. Nothing about politicians make me excited. Plenty of people here on Nostr are far more worthy of my attention 💯
I've never paid for a bitcoin conference, let alone a picture with a politician. Both seem pointless.
It seems like when a person sells out their values and compromises their principals for the favor of a sociopath, the sociopath should pay them. Not with Donald Trump, of course. Loyalty and esteem flow only one way in his sick web.
So like, how does that work?
Are there tuxedo pimps walking around trying to find another john?
Do you approach the politician or the tuxedpimp?
I must know
Some day they'll pay to have dinner with me. Unfortunately for them, I'd rather have dinner with producers than leeches.
I cannot imagine paying for a photo with a politician…
Maybe I’m just poor though 🤷♂️
Seems like a waste of money to me. Probably would have paid to take a photo of myself arm wrestling Teddy Roosevelt though.
His run anywhere from low thousands to nearly 100k. Sometimes they’re free - if it’s like, police/fire etc
There’s kind of a bell curve. The smart move is to not pay. The mid curve (worst) move is to pay for the photo. That’s the trap option. An adult man pays to have an awkward photo with another man. The other smart move is to pay a comical amount for the dinner so you can inject the politician with a meme talking point. So that for example when Trump goes on stage and says verbatim “never sell your bitcoin” it’s not as though he thought of that line himself.
Very fair point… who injected that memetic virus, I wonder?
The unspoken rules that everyone should know
Paying to be meme templates… amazing
Do they realise they could’ve just bought bitcoin instead? Much less awkward
Haha, that’s a fun way to connect with politicians! 😄 It's cool to see Bitcoin bringing people together like this. Awkward photos just make it even better! 📷✨ #BitcoinConference
That's disappointing... Not my life though
Considering that virtually all politicians in the world are spineless, soulless, parasitic swine... it says a lot about the person who is moronic enough to pay actual money for a freaking photo with a politician...
They barter money, which is a proxy for power, in order to get a picture with someone who has more power.
It doesn't make much sense.
Why someone does that makes no sense, especially bitcoiners, who very well know that they chose those photos over more orange coins.
If I were rich I would’ve made as many ear puns as I could in the short time available. That’s the only way I see value in that situation.
this is where I photoshop a photo with Lyn and myself Awkwardly standing there.
😊
This must be why my dad looks so uncomfortable in all my pictures with him
She is subtly pointing out an easy way to spot simps. No one is paying for a picture with an enemy.

I want to see whatever picture you’re referring to lol
Lyn, when I give you a bottle of wine and ask for an awkward pic, just know that it's "for the memes"
