The Bitcoiner community itself has become a lucrative business, thousands of vapid podcasts that in turn have sponsors of different kinds or look at the Bitcoin conferences.

This is not bad, all business is good but you must take it into account, we return to my maxim of life is a conjunction of interests.

You will not see podcast promoting Robosats, but you will see podcast promoting HodlHodl (KYC business even if they say they don't).

You won't see podcasts advertising hardware wallets free of secure elements, few will tell you the truth that from a technical and cryptographic point of view a Trezor T with SD protection is more secure with a coldcard.

I never saw anyone promoting joinmarket, I did see many criticisms of joinmarket from people who don't have enough technical knowledge and repeating Samourai's propaganda book.

Most podcasts will tell you a lot of lies that frankly hurt the community, so be careful, as I say Bitcoin has become a business for the Bitcoiners themselves and whoever can take advantage of others.

True words. Just like everywhere, few will be able to dig deep. Don’t trust, verify is easier said than done…

I think you are right that there is an element of marketing in almost all podcasts, buyer beware and robosats is amazing. I need to check join market. Quick question what is SD protection? Thanks

Thank you very much. I'll investigate more into robosats. I use bisq. What's the difference between robosats ans hodlhodl? They both look similar from the outside. And why secure element is bad? I have jade but never trusted secure element. I just enter the keywords every time I use it ans never use...

Most podcasts are just zoom calls with ads? 🤷‍♂️

Why people here often mention robosats but very rarely bisq?

This is also my observation, the only point I would counter is that there needn't be a thousand vapid podcasts, just one is already enough of a brainwashing influence (maybe even more so for a lack of dissenting voices). This is especially true for languages that are not English. The quality of info...

I've promoted JoinMarket at a side-event of Bitcoin Amsterdam 2024, together with my own WabiSabi coordinator https://coinjoin.nl, which doesn't ask coordination fees (as was the case with zksnacks before).

Perhaps this is a sign of the times, as Bitcoin is now in a sort of transitional phase. The global goal of the Satoshi era — building the pillars to an alternative to fiat — has been technically achieved, but the inner movement now splits and focuses on local (rather than global) emphasis: one p...

This is exactly why we need to be critical of who’s speaking and why. The Bitcoin space, like any other, is prone to manipulation for profit. It’s up to us to sift through the commercial noise and make sure we’re supporting true decentralization and security, not just the loudest voice with th...

100%, do not trust, verify. Do your homework and find out for yourself.
