0 sats \ 1 reply \ @SimpleStacker 7h \ on: How *TF* do we get rid of these clowns? It's why people think BTC is a ponzi bitcoin
This is why I can't mention Bitcoin to my coworkers. Why I can't even bring it up with any friends or few family... because when they think "Bitcoin" all they see is Scammy-Crypto 'open-face-disease' on the internet. Or twitter crypto-bot scams (all over twitter/shitter)
On the other hand:
  1. It means we're still early!
  2. It's an opportunity to educate people.
You are right that most people still see Bitcoin as gambling. But because of that, when I tell them the real truth about Bitcoin, they are amazed. Carry yourself with conviction and respect, and learn how to communicate about Bitcoin effectively, and you will gradually orange pill many people.

We may be "early" still (maybe). However it's completely, totally unethical.
Whoever thought that being able to send and store value... independent of any centralized financial authority... would lead to so many scams? And so much pure nonsense?
The people running nodes, holding their own keys can't possibly be interested in this Bullshit. Type 'Bitcoin' into google and it should be educating, not pushing shitcoin/unregistered securities casinos onto unsophisticated/influencable people.
It's incredibly wrong and being the 'public face' for Bitcoin (which it is) creates all kinds of social conflicts.
