Skateboarding is proof of work.
When I was growing up, do you know what people who wanted the benefits of skating (clothing, cool factor, etc.) without the work were called?
POSers.
Coincidence? I think not.

Same with people wearing a music band tshirt.
Def doesnât require as much work to listen to a band as it does to learn how to skate but yes, kids can be judgmental and exclusionary.
Wow you're still living in middle school ? That's one way to live your life I guess.
Yes.
By pointing out that emulating the appearance of something doesnât yield the same result as working for it, Iâm living in middle school.

Proof of work isnât for everybody I guess.
The word poseur exists to distinguish the people who earned their place in a scene from noobs who bought their way without sacrificing anything. Poseurs ruin all good scenes and itâs the communityâs ability to discern them that determines the longevity of that scene.
Proof of work definitely separates people in Bitcoin. Plebs abide by it solemnly, while shitcoiners and LARPs find it unnecessary.
