I feel seen

Bitcoin is ready to be unit of account. Anything else is distraction.

But it's not only in the Bitcoin industry, it happens in many places unfortunately, but we just have to keep working, there's no other choice 🤙

Honestly I dont know how you and a core group of others do it. Working in fiat- land, completely outside of *the industry*, then stacking knowledge + sats is way easier, even if a bit of a soul-crush on some days. Just realize that many are feeding off of your conviction + comitment to making the wo...

The richest people in the world are all scammers

I haven't been able to figure out the concept of a 'bitcoin company' in the context of anything I'm attempting to do. I have ended up suspicious of the contruct of a company in the first place. Is it necessary without a state? Is there more to it than a method of ameliorating tax obligations?

In the end, truth and purity shall prosper⏳💫

Scammers optimize for fiat metrics. Impressions, hype cycles, exit liquidity. Honest builders optimize for something the market doesn't price yet. That's the whole problem. Low time preference is a competitive disadvantage until it suddenly isn't.

... the industry ... I cannot understand the negativity. For my part, I meet the best people at bitcoin meetups. Empathic, intelligent, enthusiastic just fun to hang around with. These people will not go away because of ... the industry.

its everywhere Matt, it hurts here because you know some of them (most) and you may have considered "friends", that is until they show the true color.. It is not even a Bitcoin thing it is like a normal long Con game that Bitcoin makes exponential..

Brother, that's pretty much everywhere these days. The culture is broken.

And to make matters worse, the scammers call themselves "Christians"

what is the right thing? make bitcoin data storage and shit? Bitcoin is money. it's simple and clear.

Scammers have no real friends (and they know it), the honest win there. I definitely wouldn’t swap my friends for a Porsche.

What I visualize reading this post https://blossom.primal.net/cd0e7de1c94be7c84cbf8f57dbf670eea438711ed650b6429d070d40af8f0f4e.jpg

BIP110 proposes to fix incentives and screw the scammers but even though you re so soul hurt about the problem you somehow have found a way to justify not supporting it while being close friend of some of the worst scammers. Can't you see the performative contradiction?

The universe bends towards justice. Nature abhors a scammer

Its a brave new world out there

Thank you for consistently being one of the good ones, Odell. Keep being the change you want to see. I appreciate you.

I can only imagine I know where you’re coming from, but I think I share the disheartenment. Fiat is the retardation that just…keeps…going. It should disappear overnight. For so many reasons. Yet the most important change in multiple generations of lifetimes - which is in EVERYONE’s face now...

Yes. Time to leave the ship & stack some gold while it's still a couple of ounces worth... We'll come back later as we can definitively see the scarcity property of BTC is not really a theme yet. Those of you who might actually be interested to stack gold with BTC, here's a link & it's not a person...

Who got fucked?

Good things take time... now is the time to plant our seeds, in harsh conditions! Stay true fam <3

I have been warning others about this for six years now. If the big #bitcoin podcasters don’t start addressing the greater ideology, bitcoin won’t change much for those who needed it the most.

I’ve noticed.

It sucks to see it, but we need to demonstrate the Integrity we seek no matter what. https://blossom.primal.net/244c3a6412c53dde678b5ac7533e52f176b14bf8bda3af4a6960e0106398ed94.mp4

It's not unavoidable

Who told you that you are doing the right thing by funding shitcoin core devs and not supporting BIP110? Bitcoin Funding Industrial Complex (including people like you, NVK and Gladstein) are as bad as scammers make bank from the plebs or monetary maximalist pov so, please just keep posting "Stay H...

Everything flipped so fast. But we must stay strong! 💪

The existing systems of capital, information, innovation and trust are all designed to encourage extraction and debt, instead of building and wealth. Bitcoin is the first successful system of the wealth based world, and we are feeling the storms of extraction all around us. Stay steady, and keep y...

That doesn't mean you should join the scammers, Odell.

Isn't it the same in almost any industry? Because most people don't have the capacity or desire to seek the truth.

Yes. And you are one of the reasons why, as demonstrated here: nostr:nevent1qqs2ccfhlpym5pwkpf38vu8hmy76kvpj67kdee0t0nsmrpu9cl05nqcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtczyqzvj9w6alhrsvtl5u6ygjkwuwg2sf5lukqskgjpuhnd6dpal0kvjqcyqqqqqqgydfx9k

You should have stopped after this note.
