... 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.

As guys once said on RHR “everyone’s a scammer”, especially in this industry

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.

the incentives reward extraction, not construction. that's why building honest infrastructure feels like pushing a boulder uphill. how do we realign the system to value creation over capture?

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

- Looks at a Bitcoin Industry incentive - Sees it's a Jesuit front organization - Stays away from it, stays humble, and stacks sats.

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

the incentive in society at large, try finding an actually useful and interesting job in the fiat mines

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! 💪

Some people are just a waste of oxygen in general

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
