The funny thing about being an “influencer” (a label others put on you, not one you put on yourself) is that if you say things people agree with, they never assume you’re getting paid off. But the second you say something people disagree with, they assume you must be getting paid off…

Which is funny because in my case I’m not getting paid at all by anyone for anything I say. This is why my last few episodes have been pure value for value episodes — there are no sponsors.

It’s also why I love having my fiat mining job; I don’t have to take money from anyone. My retarded opinions are entirely my own.

Anyway, hope you’re having a great Saturday.

My retarded opinions are also my own. 👊

This is the way 🫂🤙

Nail -> Hammer -> Head

Obviously a paid shill for the International Alliance of Trees.

What gave me away..?

The term you’re struggling to avoid is “access journalism”. Bad attention is better than no attention I guess.

The label “influencer” would infer that you actually influence ppl.

Reading is tough… “The funny thing about being an “influencer” (a label others put on you, not one you put on yourself)”

actually, you're getting paid by your listeners, for anything you say ;) regardless of who you piss off

Well I just paid YOU 696 sats so HA! Take THAT! Checkmate.

nooo, did I just become an influencer?

YEUP. Now you’re officially “on the take.”

This is a good point. Perhaps you should take the title of “leader” on yourself because clearly people listen to you. And your responses to hostility are from my perspective measured and appropriate which is in short supply right now.

Well, since we pay you when you say something we agree with, doesn't it stand to reason someone else is paying you when you say something we disagree with?

QED. Check mate.

Well I just zapped you… looks like you’re on MY payroll now.

Oh no 🤕, hope i feel better soon! By the way, could I borrow some sats? 🙏

#CircularEconomy

Sponsored with 21 sats from https://coinjoin.nl 🕶️

Damn. If you werent beeing paid for your recent bad takes then you did them for free? 😆😅

I should really find someone to sponsor my retarded takes… I’m leaving money on the table!

You just wanted to be in The Coreman Show

I just like the facial expressions you make when other people are making good points.

Can’t tell if this is an insult or a compliment so I will take it as neither 🫂

Compliment! The antithesis of a news host that asks a question then looks dead inside while someone answers.

I think even your claim of creating "pure value" is subject to the same dynamic.

You see the lack of a sponsor as "pure value", but that's just your intention. The audience is the one who decides if an episode was actually valuable to them. You don't get to grade your own work.

I did not say “pure value” — I said “pure value FOR VALUE.”

The distinction matters.

If you find it valuable, give value back. If you don’t, don’t.

I stand corrected.

Yes, that's what I wanted to point out -- value isn't real until the listener decides it's valuable (and gives value back).

Society has gotten used to getting a “news” paper for far less than the cost to simply print it. No one questioned this?!

This new paradigm is going to be a rocky ride for content producers. Everyone needs to understand (including me) the value of information is exactly what you pay for it—get used to it or get used by it.

The old structure is working harder for control than we are—shame on us. Everybody loves “free” shit not realizing its just shit.

My opinions be like…

Dude same.

More Bitcoining, Less Influencing. 😄

I go to bed wondering how you can be so productive online in Bitcoin land and have a fiat job. Mucho respect 🫡

I assume everybody is paid off since I have no way to verify. Then I listen to see if they’re paid off by the good guys (they say what I think) or the bad guys (say retarded stuff). If you actually change my mind then I assume you’re a fed and I resist😂. Actually good job on the podcast 👍🏻. I didn’t know you still had another job. Either you’re very high energy or now we know why nostr:nprofile1qqst7gmku9a6fmpxn5g0ejvk536xk3g322lfqv06frn5257au4fxhnspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnfdenx7qg6waehxw309ahx7um5wgh8getjd45kuatn9ekk7mn90yx3gm9k is so worn out. Proud of you two!

My podcast is my hobby. It is not how I make a living… Carla handles the most important job of all which is raising our son.

Ignore the haters. Focus on what you do well

Go for it

What’s your fiat mining job?

Cashin’ checks and snappin’ necks.

My retarded opinions which have been at odds with your retarded opinions as of late are also my own.

We are all retarded tylenol connoisseurs at the end of the day.

I actually do feel bad that you're saying people accuse you of being paid off. That must be frustrating. Saying this because I think we all need to be reminded,myself included, that ad hominems are not the way to move forward. And neither are baseless accusations. Cheers

“We are all retarded tylenol connoisseurs at the end of the day. “

Can we put this on a poster??? 🤌🤌🤌🫂🫂🫂🤙🤙🤙

If you’re talking about your shitty reaction to the hit piece about Luke, I never thought you were paid off. You were just dumb enough to believe it because it fit your priors, and you never owned up once the dust settled. You could take notes from your fellow influencer nostr:nprofile1qqsggcc8dz9qnmq399n7kp2yu79fazxy3ag8ztpea4y3lu4klgqe46qpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezum3dw35jumt99uqsfpwv - he’s not always right either, but at least he’s man enough to admit when he’s wrong. Months ago he bashed Ocean for something he thought they did, and the very next day he made a full video admitting he jumped the gun and made false accusations.

Retards for the win ! Mid-curve for the abyss

All you have is virtue signaling and a victimhood plea. Unmanly, dishonoust, pethatic. Reputation tarnished for ever.

Looking into the not so distand future when knots passes 51% market share and keeps going up, you will be desperately trying to convice everyone you were a knotzi all along.

If I wanted to play the victim and virtue signal I would run knots.

Cringe

That’s the beauty of value-for-value. No puppet strings, no sponsors, just truth.

What is your field of work ?

Easy to say, hard to prove

I would assume an “influencer “ is paid off if they are pushing a narrative that seems counter to something I would expect them to believe given their past words and actions. May not be how others determine it, but my flags go up when it sees out of character.
