Bitcoiners should be embarrassed that the largest global conference that represents this industry has turned into a giant Trump rally. Hitching your cart to a malignant narcissist is a very bad look, and it eclipses all of the hard apolitical work that has been done up to this point and still needs to be done to further adoption.

You and all your friends should do a progressive fork for bitcoin faggot.
Was there really any need for the name calling? This isnโt twitter.
#bitcoin #nottwitter
Exactly. Itโs Nostr. Free speech is allowed.
Get used to it.
Just because you can do something doesnโt mean you should.
When was an outcome better when one or more parties to a disagreement were hostile and aggressive?
Itโs ok the have different view points but everyone can be better of if they have to defend their point of view from a well reasoned argument against it. Petty name calling benefits no-one, least of all the person doing it since they present themselves as someone incapable of making a counter argument and have to result to personal insults.
I honestly donโt care what you think of me. Iโm never going to meet you. You have no impact on my life whatsoever. BUT if we can engage in good faith discussions about our conflicting points of view we could both be better off. Once you resort to aggression, insults, and personal attacks no one benefits.
While I donโt actually disagree, you clearly didnโt understand the pointโฆ
Read my comment again.
Free speech is free speech. You wonโt like everything you see. People have the right to say whatever the heck they want. Especially on Nostr.
I suspect you will see much more vile and despicable things as more people join the network.
Mute and move along if you donโt like it.
I cancelled a couple bitcoin conferences. Just going to Dev focused in person events. Build. Bitcoin is enemy money.
Visiting Adopting Bitcoin in El Salvador?
El Salvador is on my list. Now I have a time of year. :)
I understand what you're saying...
But what if it was actually Trump who led you to #bitcoin?
Because that's how I got here. In bitcoin. On nostr.
So, to me anyway, it's pretty fuckin cool to see him finally endorsing it publicly
Why should bitcoiners be embarrassed? Maybe Bitcoin Magazine.
Bitcoin Mag and its conf are not bitcoin.
I'm not Trump fan or supporter but RFK is also speaking. I'm sure they would have allowed Biden or Harris to come as well if they were saying they support bitcoin.
Bitcoin is bigger than politics and those that are getting bent out of shape because a political figure, scum bag or not is courting bitcoiner's support; they are gonna have a big problem with bitcoin as it become more accepted by normies.
Its for enemies. Any good money is gonna be used by people you don't like.
Additionally in the past it was not uncommon for movements that weren't overtly political to have politicians from multiple parties come and speak.
The only people IMO that have a legit beef about Trump speaking would be anarchists. Where we are going we don't need politicians.
Well said, there is a vidro from @walker which i totally subscribe to.
Must be on NOSTR as well

#Bitcoinย doesnโt need politicians.
Politicians need Bitcoin.
Whitney Webb and Mark Goodwin explain how Trump is working with Peter Thiel (Vance) who's company Palantir developed facial recognition technology that made Jan 6 protesters easy to recognize, leading some of them to still be in prison today.
What do we learn about Trump? He works with people that will completely fuck over his own supporters.
The surveillance structures being built by those close to Trump (and the Democrats - it's just the uni-party after all) are to identify dissidents of both the right and the left.
And the icing on the cake? Gossip is that Trump is considering Jamie Dimon as US treasury secretary.
Rest assured, Trump will completely fuck over bitcoiners when elected. It will make is easier that all the conference goers will have their faces scanned and cataloged so they can be at the top of the shit list.
we need to be underground everywhere in the world except middle Americas next decades. anyway.
Trump is controlled opposition.
HRC called him "the pied piper candidate" in (at least one of) her internal campaign emails. It is (or was) on wikileaks.
Why should they be? And how does the Bitcoin conference represent the industry?. Bitcoin is used worldwide in completely different ways.

This might be my Nostr ATH.
Thatโs what I was thinking
Reading the comments on this post is the first time Iโve seen real vitriol on Nostr.
Will the angry twitter mob change the feel here or will #Nostr change them?
#Bitcoin #nottwitter
That's the price of becoming mainstream. The days in the shade are over. That's what you all wanted.
AN "INDUSTRY" THAT INCLUDES SCAMMERS LIKE UDI, NIC FARTER, ETC CAN GO FUCK ITSELF. THIS CONF HAS *BEEN* EMBARRASSING. NEXT!
I am embarrassed.
I think the narcissist is hitching himself to us
Bitcoin is for everyone?
Who cares? That conference isn't Bitcoin itself, they are free to do whatever they want, like we do. Bitcoin is free speach, let's not start censorship.
Missed my point completely, but okay.
The industry itself isn't homogeneous, it behaves differently from our personal expectations. Everyone chooses for himself.
Seems like people with TDS get very emotional about this.
Trump bad, so anything he does is bad.
There are 2 options in this election. One hates Bitcoin, the other used to be against it and now says they love it.
How do you know a politician is lying?
Their lips are moving...
Still when one says they are going to fight against Bitcoin and the other says they might BUY Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset...
As a Bitcoiner that should excite you.
Don't allow your TDS to cloud your judgement. If you care about making the inevitable happen faster, Trump is the clear choice.
I am a single item voter. Who is more Bitcoin friendly?
Everything else is noise
What have the Democrats done to warrant crypto support? From what I can tell, the SEC under Biden has behaved in a extremely corrupt fashion, extorting billions out of the crypto industry even as they provide regulatory moats for their cronies. Several crypto OG's have been caged (Ver, Tornado Cash devs, Samourai wallet deves). Operation Chokepoint II is well under way, and almost all crypto-friendly banks have been shut down. Many crypto services have moved out of the US and/or refuse to serve US customers due to the predatory Democratic-controlled state.
Why should the Democrats stop attacking us, unless we punish them in the voting booth?
๐ฏ A lot of Bitcoiners still have major TDS.
IโM SO GRATEFUL THAT I INVESTED IN FOREX TREAD, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MY CRYPTO COACH TO YโALL DM HIM NOW @npub1npz7...6arl AND GET PAID ๐ค๐ค
To his credit, this one aged very nicely. @The Daniel ๐
View quoted note โ
Just remember, Donald Trump is a businessman, plain and simple! Sure heโs made some mistakes, but will probably will go down in history as one of Americaโs greatest presidents! Personally, I donโt care for the manโs ego and personality, but he has been able to run circles around his competition, Republican or Democrat, Capitalist or Communist! And he has done some great things. Pray for the man if you do pray, will definitely need it if the Democrats win the House and Senate! ๐ฅโ๏ธ๐๐
