Great video, terrible sponsor.
⚠️ You’re wasting time trying to explain Bitcoin to the wrong people.
Most never get it.
Some pretend to.
A few actually do.
After 8 years of trying, I finally figured out why.

what’s wrong with Casa?
It is run by Jameson Lopp. In my opinion he is a bad actor in the space. If not a shitcoiner, certainly shitcoin adjacent. Lots of great Bitcoin only options for multi-dig and inheritance planning.
nostr:npub17u5dneh8qjp43ecfxr6u5e9sjamsmxyuekrg2nlxrrk6nj9rsyrqywt4tp is not a bad actor. He’s been here building on bitcoin since before almost anyone you’ll ever know.
Casa supports ETH my friend. It shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what we’re doing here. Or at least what I’m doing here.
Yeah, I’m aware of that and the reasons. I was even critical of it in the beginning. Remember the 13% meme? I shared a bunch of those. But you might be surprised to discover how many bitcoiners hold ETH, much of it bought in the crowdsale for pennies. Maybe if there was a larger market for multisig security they wouldn’t have to look for other revenue sources, but obviously they made a decision to offer it to their customers because of demand. He’s also not the only person in the company who makes decisions. Just my nuanced and evolved thoughts. Ethereum is still a shitcoin and nobody should hold it. That’s also my opinion.

The “bitcoin purity test” means absolutely nothing and is primarily a way for Ten31 and friends to milk you for money.
Just because you do not like a shitcoin does not mean everyone should stop making products that support it. “I don’t like it so no one else should too” vibes.
Chainway labs who are behind the Citrea shitcoiners and bad actors were supporting inscriptions spam.
Citrea is their project that started all this shit and Lopp the bad actor and evil shitcoiner is inverstor in Citrea.
Citrea is trying to turn Bitcoin into Ethereum like shticoin.
i would disagree with that portrayal from the info I have
regardless, it is a platform that first and foremost promotes bitcoin self-custody relentlessly and they have built a ton of resources for bitcoin-only wallets and setups, which is in line with my mission.
i will never be advising or promoting shitcoinery myself
It’s a shitcoin company and you are taking shitcoin money, sellout
Indeed, I've been a shitcoiner for as long as I've been a bitcoiner. You see, the same curiosity that led me to bitcoin leads me to explore the utility of other technologies.
I'll never apologize for being open minded and curious. 🙃
You are an evil shitcoiner. That is not what open mind is. You are also disgusting manipulator.
Fuck Citrea and Chainway labs and their shitcoin technologies. People should not trust Casa too.
The divide I see is between technologists and monetary maximalists. People who are distracted by what CAN be done, often miss what SHOULD be done. The smartest ones are the most dangerous. We have a once in a species opportunity to fix the incentive system of the most important tool humans use and you want to misuse it. To do so, you and others have been social engineering chinks in the armor (core30 as the latest example) since the code didn’t allow to attack it without changes. You present as a libritarian technologist who just wants to push the boundaries of what can be done but what I see is antisocial manipulative behavior and a drive for undue power and influence. A wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Sure, the divide is between folks who see how Bitcoin actually works vs those who would like for it to work differently.
And yet you have to social engineer holes in it for it to do what you want it to do. That’s like saying a Lamborghini can plow a farmers field because you welded a tractor implement to its rear bumper.
“If it wasn’t intended to be a plow, then why are there welding points under the bumper?”
