Being called by a bot run by some service legit comes off as so disrespectful. They literally aren’t even willing to waste *their own time* in the effort to waste mine. If I’m not even worth a human phone call, why TF would I think your service is any more respectful of my needs?

Will be making calls to my own. If literally everyone did this who reads this post, it'd make a difference.

“#Bitcoin is actually the 50 foot thick steel walled nuclear bunker of digital monetary network.” View quoted note →

If you have to work and produce to get a token that someone else conjures in limitless quantity, at no cost... you are literally their slave. You make stuff, and they can take an unlimited amount of it while doing nothing in return.

The current largest systemic problem in Bitcoin is mining centralization. It’s the fact that we have millions of *hashers* and barely a handful of *miners* on the network. There has been endless claims about solutions, but no project has done more, practically and explicitly, than @OCEAN to start to turn this problem around. If an opinion on op_return, or an abrasive remark, or some viewpoint difference has you dismissing or denying the fact that they are doing more than anyone else to solve this problem, then I’d argue you aren’t serious about Bitcoin. I respect lots of people that I don’t agree with, and even many that I don’t even like, or whose personalities just rub me the wrong way. But I respect and recognize what they do for bitcoin, and realize that weird, angry, or antisocial contrarians are often those who do the most to balance groupthink. That’s often a big part of why I value them. If you think there is another project doing more to solve this problem, I’m all ears. But right now I don’t see evidence of it. And I couldn’t care less what silly statements are made by anyone involved (and can point to an endless supply by anyone, including myself, if that’s what I wanted to focus on) as long as they continue moving the needle to solving Bitcoin’s greatest risk.

I am *finally* back around to working on finishing a video about vaccines that I started right before my daughter was born (like 3-4 months ago) because i'm lazy ill zap 2100 sats to the first person who digs up the thread for me where the discussion was started on here. heading to the store, will check when i get back 🙏

Understanding #Bitcoin mining was one of the first things that made me really grasp what an insane and brilliant system Bitcoin truly was... If you still think it's just some gamified ponzi scheme, I urge you to take a few minutes and watch this 👇
