Den woke up and chose violence.
"Purists always accuse the successful of 'selling out.' But success means mainstreaming, and we need Bitcoiners at every level of the orange-pilling funnel."
It’s trendy among “hardcore” Bitcoiners and true, in-the-weeds Cypherpunk types to sling dirt on Bitcoin Magazine and major Bitcoin events. The main objection is always different flavors of the same thing: It’s too base, it’s too corporate, it’s catering to normies, there are too many parasites. Basically, it’s too big and too successful:
...and yes, after comparing Vegas (#996377) and Barcelona (#925501)... I went after @Car for his ridiculous slay/rant the other day:
The show that Bailey joined to talk about González’ accusations gets — conservatively estimated, seven-and-a-half views — speaking loudly and forcefully into the headphones of a core, committed group of Bitcoiners. I’m all for it; at times, even enjoying it… but you’re not changing the world with that (or even your neighborhood in Austin).
How About We Keep Bitcoin Tiny, Obscure, and Irrelevant?
People who don’t like the mainstreaming of bitcoin seem to be saying, “Nah, man; I liked my favorite garage band when it was small and irrelevant.” It’s like they’re praying, not for success but for failure simply because they were lucky enough to have restricted access. Please, fate, don’t let them be successful.
That’s a ridiculous idea.
