I listened to the interview while making dinner, about how some folks in the BTC community are trying to clean up Blockstream / Bitcoin Core from uncle Epstein's dirty money.
Honestly, it didn't sound convincing.
Simon Dixon talks about how decentralized Bitcoin is, and a couple of minutes later he talks about how Adam Back decided to bring all the most advanced developers under one roof (Blockstream) + how some of Bitcoin Core received money from the MIT Digital Currency Initiative (which also received money from uncle Epstein).
In other words, uncle Jeffrey sponsored both sides (Blockstream + MIT DCI) that were directly working on Bitcoin.
Yeah, that really smells like decentralization.
Also, I don't understand why there is so much negativity towards Tether (USDT), which successfully pumped the price of BTC to 120k...
A nice thing is that BTC fans are just as fed up with the "privacy coin psyop." 😌
And finally, the standard mantra of "everyone should put their energy into Bitcoin" began.
But this was especially funny: "So if you want to discredit Bitcoin, then fine. But understand, you're supporting things that are doing a lot worse. But the solution is not another altcoin."
But I'm not complaining. I'm not one of those who wants to "save Bitcoin", da boyz are fine.
I don't care about BTC for ~10 years.
