>they know

@lewifree bayc owner for sure

He left the coffee shop to take a call. Laptop unlocked, trezor plugged in.

to the guy who's pulled up binance btc/usd, opensea and cg on his laptop with his back to the whole coffee shop: do you want to be robbed?

@Asliajay_ @morganhousel maxitards: ‘bitcoin, not crypto’ somehow also maxitards when something mildly positive is said about crypto: ‘omg yes so true king!!!’ top fuckin’ kek

@morganhousel so you're trying to say that bitcoin is signal and everything else is mostly noise

My only crypto take is that if you don't find some of it incredible you're not paying attention and if you don't find a lot of it absurd you're not paying attention.

@fluidvoice @ercwl @MattySTX @Stacks @StacksOrg bro you essentially just claimed ‘we’d never maliciously fork, trust us, we’re good guys’, do you really not realise how hilarious that sounds? the point is that stacks doesn’t inherit bitcoin’s properties any more than ethereum or eric’s notepad do, pretty clear lol

@ercwl @MattySTX @Stacks @StacksOrg haha, nice sarcasm. Care to make a real argument?

Noticing healthy skepticism about @Stacks and its claim to be "smart contracts for #Bitcoin." Bottom line: Stacks enables fully expressive smart contracts secured by #BTC. How does $STX do it?

@jebus911 wtf this is outrageous, someone cancel this man

I just wanna be clear since my name showed up in that article. I am not a henti enjoyer. I'm not judging yall. publicly. just not my thing.

@juansotoHR @0xAlexE @hedgefunder01 @Nationals @terra_money sir/lady, ethereum is literally the only proof-of-work smart contract platform with any kind of usage, everything else uses PoS and minimal electricity for consensus you’d do well to learn more about the things you choose to be outraged about

Terra is one of the largest DAOs in the cryptocurrency industry. Terra has experienced a meteoric rise as a market leader. 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐬. 🔗 // bit.ly/3snVKO2

@DjungelEnhanced @DisasterFemboy @RockyMinemos thank you sir for the fresh and original input you should throw some tax evasion, money laundering and terrorist financing concerns in there chief, really makes the propaganda come together quite nicely

@zkshark @DisasterFemboy @RockyMinemos They're not on the same level but nfts and crypto in general is a pump and dump scheme that's going to leave desperate people during a time of economic uncertainty holding the bag. The environmental impact is bad but its secondary to how bad it'll end up fucking people over.

@bergealex4 @Chris_Stewart_5 don’t disagree my point is that while it used to be ~100% of speculators denominating ~100% of their positions in btc, I don’t think that’s the case any longer and imo that is at least a little bit meaningful

@zkshark @Chris_Stewart_5 I don’t know that it can in any kind of native way so I think that’s a moot point. One thing we do know is that some of the top profit chasing degens do denominate their gainz in BTC regardless of which asset their degen float is short term allocated to.

I agree with this. It’s strange how the largest cryptocurrency is an after thought when it comes to defi. I’m not sure if it’s a technical problem or a cultural problem. Probably a bit of both.

@alpacasw @Chris_Stewart_5 @giacomozucco oh i’m sorry, i forgot you were the only bitcoiner out there in the world my bad

@zkshark @Chris_Stewart_5 @giacomozucco I'm not interested in a "Bitcoin backed stablecoin", as that is also nonsense.

@bergealex4 @Chris_Stewart_5 i mean sure these are nascent assets etc, rejection might be too decisive but prolly a meaningful short term hint? if anything, shows btc clearly ain’t the preferred denominator among profit chasing degens anymore idk if that matters, but surely it’d be preferable if it was no?

@bergealex4 @Chris_Stewart_5 cmon, you really think that crowd is worried about 3rd party risks? hell, isn’t the consensus maxi view that ether is custodial anyway, foundation and big bad core devs changing rules at their whims and all

@Chris_Stewart_5 yeah well… I’d say that bridge was blown up long ago but good luck and godspeed

@zkshark 💯. and there are definitely parts to criticize, but there are also lessons to be learned. Unfortunately bitcoin maxi twitter hasn’t crossed that bridge yet. I hope I can help them!

@giacomozucco @alpacasw @Chris_Stewart_5 yeah, doing so with god knows how many intermediaries in between me and my counterpart. wow very interesting so much more interesting than being able to mint synthetic usd using sats as collateral or noncustodially swapping that usd for sats in a couple of seconds surely

@zkshark @alpacasw @Chris_Stewart_5 Bisq covers the most interesting use-case for the whole world in the next few decades: moving wealth from fiat to sats. Mining may be in that bullpark too. The rest is frankly very boring in comparison.

@bergealex4 @Chris_Stewart_5 idk guess it just shows the corn’s superior monetary properties aren’t much appreciated quite a clear rejection of the ‘better money will always crowd out inferior money’ bitcoiner thesis popularised during the early days of defi why arent the gainz chasers using wbtc instead?

@zkshark @Chris_Stewart_5 > should make any bitcoiner sad tbh don’t know why it would. what are we trying to achieve? all of the supply chasing “sick gainz” on other chains?

@alpacasw @Chris_Stewart_5 @giacomozucco imagine thinking a protocol allowing you to trade and pool/market-make assets (hell, BTC and a BTC-backed stablecoin hypothetically) non custodially is not interesting but somehow bisq and trading via sending money through mail or fucking zelle is interesting to you people lmao

@Chris_Stewart_5 @giacomozucco Why is this interesting? I don't have an illiquid shitcoin that I need to fake liquidity for.

@Chris_Stewart_5 you’ve been actively shunning anyone who so much as shows a sliver of interest in what’s being built on other chains but you’re surprised ‘bitcoin defi’ has become an after thought? whoda thunk uh

@Chris_Stewart_5 strange? that cryptocurrency’s community has spent the past four+ years, to this day, deriding and villifying decentralised finance applications and the people building, using and investing in them now y’all surprised everyone went elsewhere? top fucking kek

@bergealex4 @Chris_Stewart_5 there’s actually more ether ($$$ value) on other chains than there is bitcoin on eth + other chains at this point, should make any bitcoiner sad tbh ‘member bar bell theory and the ‘wbtc will make eth on ethereum obsolete’ cries of ‘19 bitcoiners? yeah right lmao

@Chris_Stewart_5 An afterthought? There’s like 300k BTC on DeFi

@matthewcrowley @mims not at all like that (you know, one of the main characteristics of equity being fungibility and all that) but go off king

@mims Diabolical. Like buying one share of a company for 10x the last price to pump the valuation.

@blknoiz06 you don't remember bnb? chainlink? aave? mana? just off the top of my head yeah there was also a lot of trash raising in '17 but there were also legitimate teams building interesting things with an actual long term outlook, hard to say the same about soylana

solana defi 1.0 was like the first round of icos on ethereum in its' infancy, none of which i can remember off top of my head now, still confident the next round of solana-dApps will be much more community-oriented & just better in general
