I think Scoresby was saying that he watched a few of the 'big names' in Bitcoin in the early days to get orange pilled

And I was the same, my newpipe sub list is all the usual suspects, but after this week from Bitcoin hell!...

I'm re evaluating this whole narrative, Bitcoin the network doesn't need any inflooencers, just like the planet earth, it just keeps spinning, or confirming blocks in the former

But climate experts are constantly commenting on the latest reasons the earth is doing what the earth does, if they just ****ed off the earth would keep spinning, but it gives these experts a reason to fill the Airways with their narrative

And the same is with Bitcoin, this latest CC exploit has obviously shocked the community but the inflooencers are rubbing their hands because they can milk at least 2 episodes out of this

And now there is the btc payserver thing unfolding, that's another episode, dont forget the boltz, thats another

And broadly speaking, a whole narrative on self custody is under attack is brewing ready for material usage

I guess it's natural for humans to get drawn to this behaviour, just look at CNBC or bloomberg or the FT, it's all leeching off the happenings on fiat

In some ways Bitcoin is philosophical because the longer you are aware of it's existence, the longer the road you travel along, there is the righteous path, there are many short cuts, many dead ends, many alternative paths and one thing is for sure, the road is long and never ending

One can assess the place a Bitcoiner is standing by the experience they have

And realising the many celebrity persona's of Bitcoin are not all they appear to be, is moving slightly further along the righteous path

"I guess it's natural for humans to get drawn to this behaviour, just look at CNBC or bloomberg or the FT, it's all leeching off the happenings on fiat."

It's absolutely not natural. Content is trapped in the freemium hellscape of big tech. Influencers and producers need more more more to satisfy platform algorithms that extract most of the value.

In a better world payment and price signals value rather than likes, shares, and viewing hours.

This is the righteous path, and Bitcoin will build it.

Exactly!!

Being off YouTube these past few weeks really clears the cobwebs. I am thinking of dropping podcasts as well maybe just listen to SN and Bitcoin opTech and fade everything else.

Get my news and ideas from people SN that seem to be humble and just want to help folks. And don’t depend on donations to make a living.

I've pretty much dropped all podcasts that don't engage significantly with their audience. It's more like being part of a conversation this way, just with some giving their thoughts audibly and others in writing.

And humble path.
