According to Texas, there's nothing better than looking at your paper Bitcoin through a hall of mirrors.

It would be lovely if they started selling. Genuinely hope they start offloading.

Personally, I don't think It matters what their stance is. People/bots pushing slop are just going to get better about hiding it and probably never disclose AI was used. While authors using AI to constructively review their work will responsibly disclose that AI was used to assist with the BIP, probably get lambasted and shamed for it the first time around and then fearfully choose not to disclose that AI was used ever again. This is a new skill that we need to learn to wield responsibly while simultaneously becoming better at identifying BS, slop proposals when we see them.

100%. The scapegoats chosen here will be completely deliberate. If I had to put my tinfoil hat on I would say there is a very high likelihood that there were backdoor deals made to include or exclude certain names from this list.

At this point, we'll only get what they haven't cared to incinerate or use for blackmail in the future.

There's no spectrum here. It's quite binary.

Really wish they would cut ties with GameFreak though. They are chronically mishandling the Pokemon games and slowly eroding the brand and confidence in the franchise.

We need a proper map of places and stores that accept Bitcoin. btcmap exists, but is terribly outdated, imo. It's mostly just filled with ATM's and places that don't actually accept Bitcoin.

Genuinely can't understand why anyone is even entertaining Luke and his proposals. I suppose the fudsters, news outlets, influencers and anti-Bitcoin crowd need to play off something? I don't know.

Soft fork? No thanks. I'll hard pass on this.

100% this. Don't overcomplicate things, OP.

And a vast majority of the population still choose to wear blinders, refusing to acknowledge it.

Their interests will develop into careers. Some more profitable than others. Forcing profit seeking behaviors and interests onto a child can rob them a bit of that valuable exploration phase potentially hindering the development of their own interests.

Agreed. Instead of teaching them to become a little capitalist that time may be better had teaching them how to build something, how to solve puzzles, how to use a tool to solve that puzzle, etc. Or more generally, just give them that time to pursue their interests while outside the classroom. Nature, art, whatever it may be.

And whose fault is that? Let the banks rot. If they provide an inferior service they deserve to go. They're preying on fear to stay alive at this point.

How do you classify Borg?

A. Most actual Bitcoiners tend to be pretty critical of and quick to point out anything that could be a scam. It's generally good to be vigilant in this space so I can't blame them.

B. Reddit has always had its fair share of bots, but it feels as though bots have almost fully taken over most subreddits. Upvoting their own and their own agenda, downvoting everything else. You're categorized as everything else in this case.

Easy, neither.

Red flags everywhere. Genuinely don't see how this isn't a scam.

One of the worst things about moving is losing and having to rebuild your trusted list of people and services.

It's so obvious an answer I completely dismissed it, but yes. This one should be the auto-default number one spot.

Anyone selling "crypto" or custody/middleman solutions. Run.
