330 sats \ 8 replies \ @justin_shocknet 9 Apr \ parent \ on: ODELL accuses Saylor of threatening ETFs for Funding Open Source bitcoin
People donate to OpenSats to support Bitcoin Development, Sats is literally in the name... and they've been scammed.
Donors have the right to know they've been scammed.
ECash is already gets hundreds of millions invested while its projects work to obviate the Lightning payment spec and centralize the network. It doesn't need donations, yet it gets them, shilled by the same influencers with a history of shilling honeypots.
It also coincidentally checks the boxes for the ECash Act (digital treasuries) which was written as an RFP... it's all in plain view. ECash being digital dollars is an Art-of-the-deal-esque CBDC-lite, not Bitcoin.
If it doesn't sound spooky then listen closer. Like it or not, Bitcoin is the third industry. Just like the Defense and Energy sectors before it, it's a spook battlefield and probably always will be.
You can donate directly to projects on opensats, not just the general fund.

I think you are missing my point. People that donate to OpenSats can view the web site and see a list of projects that is being supported. They aren't hiding the fact they support projects you disagree with. Additionally they can review the non-profit's reports each year if they don't trust the web site. If they don't trust either they can keep their sats.
The attitude you are expressing is the same justification expressed by governments. We are all being scammed by bitcoin! We need someone to protect us. We are all to stupid to make our own choices. We all make our own choices and should do our own research. Don't infantilize bitcoiners. That's what I'm saying.
What you are saying is an opinion that many probably share. Others probably do not.

Says you, who is literally trying to stop the spread of this information. I state a fact, you say I shouldn't because people could know it if they looked into it.
Sounds very FOIA / Class-Declas to me.
Seems you don't want people looking into it more? Maybe we could question your incentives? Why don't you want donors to know they're being scammed?

I actually linked to the page with the list.
I have no power over you. Don't play the victim. Write up a post about how people shouldn't send sats to OpenSats.

Did that page exist before they took donations? No.
You'd have a point had they called it OpenFiat, the ECash investments came after donations rolled in.
