For those using the Bitcoin Magazine to grab some meaningless sats for reading their garbage, BE AWARE: they are stopped the withdrawals !
A friend of mine sent me this alert from the BM app:

PLEASE STOP USING THAT SHIT BM !
Damn!! I know running a business in this space is extremely difficult but it always pissed me off this site doesn’t use BTC pay server, zaprite, hell even open node to process payments for their merch store. It’s low hanging fruit and they can’t even do that! Go and try to buy something on their site and see how hard it is to pay in bitcoin yet the Zeus team makes it so easy.
I still support them because they are the only print magazine that focuses on bitcoin. If things get dark with information online having stuff in print is more difficult to censor or change after the fact.
The rewards you earned from reading articles seemed gimmicky and too easy for people to farm and milk. If they just go back to first principles I think they would be fine but the draw of fiat is so powerful.
You are wrong. They are total shitcoiners, pretending to be bitcoiners.
Don't let them fool you!
Do you know of another print magazine that focuses on bitcoin?
https://www.citadel21.com/
Wow I never knew this mag existed

Pretty hilarious. Focus on ordinal spam and halt withdraws.
they have a newer, more lucrative model that doesnt focus on paying people a few sats for their data and eyeballs.
They should put that on the pop up window when people try withdrawing the sats they've earned.
"We have a newer more lucrative model that doesn't focus on giving you your sats."
wait... so people are reading that garbage, just for 5 sats?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i think its 1 now 🤣
Spent all the sats they owed users on ordinals.
That's why they are called ordinals mag
I've left that garbage as soon as I discovered that they want everyone to consume their shitposts for 5 sats.
They still give sats out? Is it still like 5 per article?
Wait, no! Just logged in again, and it's now a whopping 1 sat per article! Though if you can never withdraw them, I guess it doesn't matter.
Is not about that meaningless reward.
Is about they cannot handle anymore supporting this shit reward system.
As Darth always said: the 2024 Bitcoin halving will be brutal !
It is. Also, they haven't replied to customer service emails going back at least a couple of weeks (before the current message, there were just failed withdrawals).
idk... I do not use that shit app. Only that a friend asked me what is going on.
For me is clear that they are bankrupt.
BM is shitcoin magazine anyways.
I can’t even log in anymore, probably I stacked too much sats 🤣
Yep absolutely. I’ve come to the same conclusion.
Just tested and can confirm.
Some articles are good though https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/script-state-from-lamport-signatures-
BM slowly will became another bitcoin dot com scam publication.... oh wait is already!
How sad it is to see this, people are losing their way.
There were days when they gave away Sats on tweeters to the fastest ones who scanned the LNURL
