Hey failure as a self serving loser is my schtick! I want royalties.
Discussion
And before calling anyone a self-serving failure, he might have thought about what the person actually did for the community for free. These kind of people jump to conclusions because they want their orange-glasses to be true. It actually disgusts me to hear this.
I've goddamit made podcasts, blogs presentations while I was ill, combined 3 jobs, the moment I was recording a podcast while getting the call that my close family member was dying, I realized what fool I was to work for this.
So yeah, calle ME self-serving, by someone who doesn't know me and didn't even properly read the whole article is a bit of a typical thing I'll remember next time any grifter in bitcoin ask me why I don't work for the community anymore. I'll refer to Mr. buy-me-a-carrot. (and I'm sure he's a nice dude in real life, at least he makes and creates something from what I can see, usually these kind of comments come from the biggest self-serving losers who never did anything for bettering bitcoin anyway, unless they could have 5$ kickback on some referral link or something š
Your piece was thought provoking and even if I didn't agree with it all, I'm in no position to offer an alternative further than my own experiments, which are in there infancy. You've certainly kicked off some discussing with the V4V crew which can only be a good thing...
All I know is I myself need to try something new and V4V is a vibe I like. We're all creating data somehow and existing models are broken. Many think BTC fixes everything. A platform using BTC that still exploits creators and does a bunch of backroom deals with majors, while not paying Indies is no better than Spotify to me. I'm not fully convinced but I'm down for trying. Bitcoin fixes everything... for people with enough bitcoin not to have to really give a shit about how anyone else is doing. That said, we're all doing our thing and I'm totally up for trying.
Wishing everyone success in their endeavors, well unless they're launching a meme coin or some other scam haha.
I encourage that. Even if you don't agree with everything (I doubt many people do).
I try to make people think about things, to make bitcoin better. If we're all "Fonzies" and do a thumbs up on everything, then the critique will come from outside our bubble anyway. I'd rather do it internally and have some bad words thrown at me. (not pleasant, but that's how it goes).
thank you for trying your best and taking the time for reacting.
