Nuff Den spamming for one day...
...OK, just once more
A little bit of an internal shitshow after #1063630 last week.
Here's Di, our master of coinz, punching back at Jason Maier:
During operation choke point 2.0, we were debanked and had to scramble to pay our own staff with a new banking provider; Lightning service providers departed the country, which again we suffered from as IBEX left and suddenly we had to figure out new solutions for accepting bitcoin for purchases; and there was a constant hovering specter of audits and outward regulatory aggression toward advancing bitcoin adoption.
Bitcoiners, inside and outside the industry, should have tempered their frustrations with all of that, just so that — maybe — we can be more successful in grassroots adoption in a decade or so…?
In other words: We should take one for the Bitcoin industry team just because you need more time (and money?) to convince the people absolutely least likely to ever grasp Bitcoin…?
and:
As the author of “A Progressive’s Case for Bitcoin,” Maier has been on this crusade for a while — with very little to show for it. The progressives have failed massively in persuading their representatives to support bitcoin.

"By any measurement, the liberal/progressive movement for Bitcoin advocacy has been an absolute joke"

I'll admit that I don't get at over to BM very often, but this back and forth made me click. Nice work!

Wonderful 👍
I'm glad my work is paying off — the Great Scoresby! <3

The liberal/progressive case for Bitcoin... should be very strong if not overwhelming. Why isn't it currently?

It's a joke because bitcoin can't give them what they always want, control and regulation.
