Stretch is a gambler, an egoist and is being kept out of jail by suits that think they understand btc
He's a fucking snake. Bitcoin is the only "crypto" that's being used anywhere in the world. How many fucking Ethereum villages and towns exist where hundreds of vendors are selling goods for bitcoin? How many Solana towns? How many Doge villages? Brian can EAD.
At this point, there are enough of us Bitcoiners to just build our own system. We can hold the door open for anyone that wants to join us, but unfortunately ding dongs like Brian will continue to distract "retail", "normies", "no coiners" from finding us. I've shifted my focus solely on building the coordination, cooperation, and coelessence of the existing Bitcoiners. In my opinion, Bitcoiners will get more benefit by shifting the focus to strengthening Bitcoin community and culture rather than trying to drag new people into the fray. Earn Bitcoin, mine Bitcoin, spend Bitcoin, go to Bitcoin meetups, spend Bitcoin with Bitcoiners, keep your sats local. Nostr is a location for Bitcoiners to build cultural capital and circular economies beyond the local meetups. Nostr is for Bitcoiners by Bitcoiners.
He is not making enough money only by exchanging and custody bitcoins. To grow his revenue he must promote everything that will help him make even more money. Still ENS was for me the best achievement on Ethereum, I would love to see an equivalent on Bitcoin, there was this .btc stuff but it was not really on Bitcoin and using yet another shitcoin if remember well. Anyrhing else? Or shouldnwe use nostr for decentralized, censorship-resistant domain name and easy to read bitcoin address mapping?

Coinbase will eventually be steamrolled by the competition. They are small potatoes in the grand scheme, with pretty bad UX, and no long term advantage on custody or trading.

I thought you were writing EOD. End of Day… took me a minute. 😋
Makes me want to join Twatter X just so I can get banned again for telling this jackass where to stuff his Base, ENS, USDC and smart wallets.
Brian arm is strong for this one because that’s all he is thinking about for this one, his own “head /dick” Fueling that legacy mindset thinking. #Bitcoin is the only truth, the way, the light
Blockchain and cryptography, now known as crypto, are often seen as useful for a wide range of applications. However, while cryptography has countless valuable uses, blockchain, outside of #bitcoin is largely useless. This misunderstanding makes the crypto industry an ideal environment for bad actors. Brian is one of them.

WTF are you smoking? All other projects are at best centralized garbage, at worst outright scams.
A Bitcoiner friend of mine came back from El Salvador about three months ago. He said literally no one would take Bitcoin. He was able to use USDT several places. I've used USDT in Southeast Asia (Vietnam and Thailand) much more often than Bitcoin. I think I've seen videos by @Joe Nakamoto in Europe where they couldn't take Bitcoin, but did they did take stable coins. Tron is by far the biggest network for stable coins. Where can you live on Bitcoin outside of circular Bitcoin economies?

Exactly. Some people need to grow a pair.
It's not common at all. My experience is that any crypto or Bitcoin is the same practically: virtually no one wants to take them, so you can cash out from a local exchange to local currency. People do generally want and understand dollars as the best currency. That's an easier sell than Bitcoin for now. I did use lightning twice in Vietnam. There's an app called Neutron pay that connects Vietnamese banks to a lightning wallet. My Vietnamese brother-in-law asks for USDT any time I want to send him Bitcoin.

Aye, for the reocrd, not my creation. Loved it so much I saved it on my device.
That's great to hear. I was bummed to hear my friend's experience. He did spend a lot of time in smaller towns, so maybe that's the difference
So wait, a guy who make money every time someone changes one 'crypto' for another, is suggesting that we need lots of different 'cryptos' for the internet of money to work?
cope and sneed. the EVM is useful and people want to use it. stop having a pisspants crybaby tantrum and activate some Bitcoin opcodes to make Ethereum redundant.
To accurate, Bitcoin is the only one that fits the definition of a cryptocurrency. The shitcoins use that name the same as political parties use the word "democracy" lol
