Most of your favourite bitcoin influencers are HODL larpers.
They don’t spend sats, they don’t mine, they don’t run nodes

And most importantly they don’t zap!
Joe woke up and chose violence, Kill your heroes!
Shit I forgot this one too
Damn straight. It makes me do better and want to be better in the process
I figured, happy to serve 🫡😁
Who are my favourite influencers?
@John Carvalho would say: if you just hold , what is the purpose to run a node if you don’t have any of your transactions to verify? And let’s be serious home mining is a hobby for rich.
Because they don't see it as MoE
In fairness, they’re at a loss for what to do once their USAID funding got rugged
I spend sats, I mine, I run a node ✌️
Running a node is not only for your use. If you run a node, you are keeping a copy of all txt in case something happens...your node is important for everyone.
Have you noticed any differences in behavior between English-speaking and Spanish-speaking Bitcoiners? Do you think some use BTC more as a payment method than others? Do you think some are more hodlers than others?
Bitcoin influencers (and all "influencing") is a "niche" that will dissolve with better technology. There's no real need to influence people.
There's a need to educate people, not "influence" people.
Education requires long-form patience and a compassionate mindset, and also a specific goal. Not an influencing mindset.
The influencing mindset is disingenuous in nature, because it's rooted and separation, I influence you, I'm the influencer, you're the influenced. Which is like, okay? :D
It's not rooted in something specific, it's not solving a particular problem per se because everything influences everything and that's meaningless by itself. i.e what are you really influencing? There's no need to influence, there's a need to share, learn, build together, work together and educate.
So yeah, better tools will make people more connected to each other instead to "leaders".
Everyone is a leader and a follower, depending on the topic.
God, this so true
Don't tell me you like bitcoin, tell me which Core (or Knots or whatever) version you run lad
Mining as an individual is pretty much always a bad idea
Knowledge and action must unite
it’s core on an umbrel. How do I run knots on it? Quite keen to do that when I get home
all true bitcoiners are influencers but not all influencers are bitcoiners
Just saying, not saying that i am not running a node
not you keys, not your btc
not your node, not your bank
NICE! Knots does not come bundled in Umbrel afaik
If your' willing to, you could flash EmbassyOS from Start9 and that supports it. Or, even better, deep into raspibolt.org and just install Knots instead of Core
I spend sats everyday here on Nostr.
But in my private life only once a month or so.
And this to guys from the web.
My friends are not ready for this at the moment.
Core on Start9!
I’m a huge deal in the sock influencer world tbh.
Bitcoin’s a whole other ball game though.
Running a node is easy these days and fiat can be instantly converted to SATs. There are no excuses anymore.
Definitely not an influencer. I work hard, paid in fiat. Spend fiat to support family. Save/hoard in sound money. Not spending the corn until I either get paid in it or quality producers refuse my fiat.
Spend trash, hoard bitcoin.
The MOE era starts when the quality producers refuse fiat.
FUCKING EXACTLY!
USAID is not funding Bitcoin anything.
5 years ago, sure. But if you need to heat or purify a space then chuck out your current device and mine.
Check out @npub1srsa...whlh or its competitors.
The Spanish bitcoin influencers that I know are pretty based. But I don’t really follow the scene closely enough. My gripe tends to be with the American speaking moonboy types
Loooool
Check out @heatbit or its competitors. That or a bitaxe for fun
