It's funny to watch @ODELL and the like backpedal on Muh Nostr Only. It's even funnier to watch the lemmings follow suit both directions. Odell had an obvious financial interest in driving traffic to Nostr via his Ten31 investments but cloaked it in virtue signaling about Muh Freedom and convinced a lot of people to follow suit. He probably set back bitcoin evangelization significantly by doing so. It was always retarded. When has leaving the conversation ever converted more people? Bitcoiners need to wake the fuck up and stop living in a fantasy land. This is a fight for our lives against fiat. Stop thinking because influencers like Odell orange wash the narrative that they're benevolent. Always question everything.

Enjoy building your social credit scorw on X, probably the most retarded take ive ever seen on using legacy media over freedom tech. Odell pushed the community forward and into new frontiers whilst you simp to big tech on X.
Yeah sad to see him and Marty sellout their reputation to the suit class. Professional conference goers now, more concerned with doing the circle jerk tour. ๐Ÿค‘๐Ÿคฎ
@odell doesnโ€™t have a stake in #bitcoin. He, like many of these other โ€žinfluencersโ€œ is a parasite, trying to get rich on the edges of Bitcoin. I mean, why has he been funding the Core Devs?
Its good that he went back to Twitter because when he came back to Nostr again half those retards that followed him back to Twitter stayed there and didn't come back to Nostr again.
We love and respect you. Take those daggers and sling โ€˜em back, or bury โ€˜em in the dirt where they belong. Friction and pressure does create diamond hands. It is not fun. Nothing worth having is always fun to ride out in the acquiring thereof. Buying, not crying! Zapping, not yapping! #RideOrDie
The cope from fools that have been scammed by Odell, they can't accept that they've been scammed. What do they call it? Cognitive dissonance or something. I know a guy who gave $40k to Nigerian romance scammers over a year and a half thinking he was talking to a Canadian woman. Odell's fans remind me of him, he still can't accept that he got scammed, can't live with it.
I did follow him here. And I'm extremely happy for it. I now only use zapstore and have pretty much degoogled my life and found this ecosystem soo interesting, plus it gives me hope for the internet again. Whats wrong with that? @ODELL, hats off to ya fella. ๐Ÿ‘
suck my massive dick you parasite oily haired hobo @ODELL wtf are you talking about? told you to remove your fuckin cap lets see what you hiding there #asknostr
Let's do a thought experiment for a bit, assuming Odell had realized that going Nostr only was either too soon or a strategic mistake or both, would you have rather he continued down a path that he knew was not the right one? Is he not allowed to change his mind because he is has a big account with many followers? If you do have evidence of the grift, please do share so that we're all informed about the wolves in sheep clothing in our midst. Just curiously asking questions like you said we should do.
i was never much of a fan of twitter anyway and after so many of my follows talking about it i came across. i went back one time, made one fairly innocent post and got
lol. suspended. so then i just never bothered again. anyway, people who aren't here from what i understand after musk bought it, nostr got shadowbanned. so there is that also. maybe on odells pods he could have helped people from x learn about nostr but ultimately the odds of someone coming from x without having friends who are here, or like, on signal or telegram, the funnel is thin. and the opensats/hrf funding of bitcointwitter clones have kept nostr not interesting outside of bitcoin community anyway.
Weโ€™re in the part of the cycle when everybody hates everyone, just because weโ€™re bored. Bullish! ๐Ÿš€
That's why I like Phil Collins, he's never disappointed re. decentralisation. :80s:
I see your strawman and raise you one logically coherent argument. Should people make money off freedom tech? Sure. Should they have to lie to people and set back bitcoin evangelism to do so? No. Should they be allowed to charge above market rate for a sub par product indefinitely? No. Obvious.
I love triggering you dude. Get a real job if you want to make more money. Stop lying to people and claiming you're morally superior to the Dan Held, Arthur Hayes and Balajis of the world. Pick a lane and stay in it. I'd honestly respect you more if you dropped the virtue signaling.
A lot of them have grown inpatient with the rate of adoption and instead of doing the hard work to promote P2P commerce they started looking for short cuts like Wall Street adoption and expanding use cases beyond P2P electronic cash. At the same time they keep moving the goalposts for themselves. They talked about 100k Bitcoin for years and when that was in reach they decided it has to be a million dollars per Bitcoin. They've given up on freedom money and they'll accept any compromise as long as they believe it will result in them looking richer on paper. In other words they've all sold their souls and turned into fake duplicitous shills who pay lip service to freedom but really just want corporations to pump their bags.
last paragraph sounds like Karl Marx. anyone can sell anything. buy according to your own principles and integrity. i wont be joining your collectivist โ€œallowedโ€. in fact, given the right set of circumstances, ill shoot at it.
might be a waste of precious time to take a chronic complainer going by john wick seriously. carry on.
