People I respect like @Laser thought I was just stirring the pot for no reason in this thread. I wasn't. The Cold Card hack is totally unsurprising to me. Most people experience the personalities through a screen. When you really interact with them you understand: The Ten31 crowd has been acting like a cartel for a long time. All they care about is their bags. They pick winners and losers. Arrogant. Contributing very little in the form of chit chat but expecting a huge chunk of the pie. Acting like celebs. The tears we saw from Odell today are crocodile tears. They'll go back to their multi millionaire lifestyles. They're just sad that their influence and rep is forever tainted so they won't make as much off of them. I really hope the plebs can see the game now and look at things in a more skeptical light. This cleansing has been a long time coming. The space needs new voices. Soul searching. New ideas. Less arrogance. More building. More open minds and diligence. And less complacency. I'll finish with this: I am encouraged by what I've seen and personally experienced with bitcoiners helping one another through the crisis. View quoted note →

It’s been a while since i last spotted the freedom marketers here at Nostr using a legitimate human call for self-sovereignty as a marketing strategy and capturin Nostr,s feed and narratives. It actually took me away from the protocol for a while

Elites like Klaus Schwab and Yuval Noah Harari predicted this, didn't they?

Thanks for posting this. One thing that astonished me was just how wrong so many bitcoin influencers are about eben the most basic aspects of bitcoin. Now influencers have cost people billions indirectly through unhinged advice.
Theyre right about a lot of things they just got greedy. Its not like the principles were way off base they were just hypocrites protecting a con artist so they could get their sponsor bux.
