I don’t have time for this shit. Laters.

I’m totally not against brand-building. He’s running a business. Judge him as you wish. But balance the positives with the revenue-generating negatives. He’s given a platform to many a big bitcoiner. He’s given purpose to a number of talented but overlooked footballers. Yes, he’s promoted some crap that sounded good at the time but hey, we’ve all done that, especially those working in the marketing business. Things often go tits up later. I mean take Twitter. Jack built that. He’s liked but what is Twitter now? Elon was liked by many but now perhaps not so much. I say judge those by their activity, output and their personal
interaction. If Peter is all about self promotion then it will become evidently tiring after a while and perhaps this is where you are with him - also fair enough so just ignore rather than attack - but for me he’s done enough to balance that with genuine questions about bitcoin’s impact and influence as well as publishing personal battles with British banks (I can relate to that!) and even court cases with Faketoshi. If it’s all crap, at least it’s entertaining and I don’t feel the need bring him down for it.
I don’t think #[7] is questioning any of that. Seems like Pete is easily agitated and brings his twitter hostility across platforms. He seems like a chill dude in person though.
Defensiveness can be due to feelings of insecurity. I’m pretty sure what I said pales in comparison to some of the other things hurled at him on a daily basis. I’m not those people.
Like I said, I think he brings his argumentative Twitter attitude across platforms.
That said, I am one of “those morons.” A regular old pleb. Some of these inflooencers got some real attitude. But you know, they’re healing the world and really the ones who are brining bitcoin to the masses. So we better kiss their arse.
If someone acts like a prick then I’ll speak to them like a prick.
Yep, I hear you and I like and follow #[7] so I was surprised by the response (Peter is still on Twitter so the agitation and Twitter hostility is still ingrained 😉) But I believe he’s a decent bloke off the platforms…
Peter, I’m sure we’d have a great chat over some beers and this will all be forgotten. Next drink at Pubkey is on me. 🍻
Don’t forget your face diaper. Peter is easily sniffled. Don’t let guys like him off the hook for that shit. He had an audience and defended the vaxx at all costs. He’s a cuck shit.
I’m chill in person as people are chill in person. Nobody has the balls to talk in real life like they do on Twitter, if they did they’d be on their arse.
If people are hostile behind their keyboard then they’ll get called what they are. I meet people exactly how they ask to be met.
I have no argument with that. I really didn’t see what I said as trying to bring anyone down. I was genuinely puzzled at what “Nostr first” meant. Fine, Twitter fixed some of the things Elon broke, great. Functionality aside, it just sounds like because Nostr isn’t a revenue driver, it’s not seen as important enough a platform for someone with such a public profile. That’s fine, just say so. But retorting with personal insults is childish. I won’t stoop to that level.
i think it’s just naturally part of the way some people speak. like where i’m from, here in southern california, many of us curse a lot & use “insulting” words _casually_, if that makes sense. pretty sure many like in new york or england do the same.
It’s easy to give attention to the negative people Pete. Focus on the love. Thanks for all you do in the space, I’ve learned a lot from your content. Go Bedford☠️
