Toxi-Maxi Bitcoinists berate beloved Nic Carter

You can read his response here.

I think I need to make a podcast, and talk twice a week about some of these topics, post it on 3speak. That's what I decided in my dreams last night anyway.

Being in the US is very different from being in Colombia, up here, I am pleasantly surprised at how many people have at least heard of the things I like to talk about, some even have exposure to crypto, some are interested but not enough to invest money, some are still certain that its all part of some apocalyptic premonition, but even then are also worried that the dollar has become both digital and untrustworthy.

It is also of note to me what recently happened to Nic Carter, who I consider to be one of the most interesting people to listen to, he writes a lot and I like to read what he writes as well. It doesn't hurt that he looks a lot like a friend of mine from Colombia, one civil engineer that I have a nice longstanding friendship with.

So it turns out, that 'everybody knows' that toxic maximalism isn't right, isn't valid, and isn't even logical. Since when was the first iteration of a new technology the only version that mattered? We know that we can continue to find new uses for these techs. We also know that there is a lot of grift and fraud and worthless shitcoins out there. Such is life. But even if the number is 99%, which it might be, it doesn't mean that bitcoin is the 'only one'.

Nic knows this, and is quite articulate in his response.

I feel this way too, you might remember I got insulted on twitter for pitching my token to a bitcoin maxi - it did surprise me at the level of vitriol, but it did not deter me in our plans to build the bridges into the world we want to see in the future, the world we are working hard to create.

It might say something about how toxic twitter is as a space. Could it be that the limitation on characters somehow limits the expression of our character as humans? That would be interesting especially for the implicit pun.

As much as I enjoy writing my blog, and I do enjoy it, I think that a space to speak out weekly or bi-weekly would do me some good as well. I think the time has come to start a podcast on these topics - a way for me to use 3speak, and integrate fully with the V4V network that @brianoflondon has bridged HIVE into, get into New Podcast Apps and be able to have friends and family, as well as strangers around the world, listen to me talk about the very interesting (and sometimes rambling) things I have to say about often niche topics.

Making a podcast is the next logical step, and it connects everything I am doing and makes it all way more efficient. It will probably help me clear my head and not stress as much about details that I might not have anyone to talk to about. A grab bag crypto podcast - something like....

Eco's Crypto Instant

Or something like that. I need a logo for it. A cover image in order to start my podcast. I have HIVE SBI for anyone interested in taking a stab at it!

Let me know, I can even use ancilliary art, so nothing is wasted, send me your drawerings, I'm working on seeing if I can get this started from the US.

Freedom and Friendship

Sort:  

Although digital currencies exist and are decentralized, there must be at least one real reference such as money. My question is why we don't have money made by silver or anything has value ?

great question, and I think some currencies try to do that!

Do you think that Twitter will return to what it was as a platform for publishing opinions in an impartial manner, or is it a matter of politics?

Somehow I doubt it. But its not impossible to imagine.

Moving backwards is harder than forwards for somethings, this is a universal law we often refer to as entropy. For example it is easy to conjure up a force necessary to break an egg, but the inverse force necessary to fix a broken egg is almost impossible to imagine.

When was twitter a space for impartiality? It's been moderated since day one and steered since before that. It's been a tool of the intelligentsia in America since day one man.

Want proof? Look at every single one of the first 100 employess. You can do that, you know, you can find them all. Not saying I have personally, but it's doable. I have found enough and I know enough personally to tell you it's always been a piece of shit elitist, communist-plutocratic worldview piece of shit.

The maxis can definitely be toxic and I would just ignore them. Either way, I tend to agree with Nic and I don't really think BTC will solve all the issues in the monetary system.
