I had an "influencer" at a bitcoin conference tell me flat out how much she hated nostr, and preferred X where she was making 'bank in fiat' while she was promoting bitcoin. Also she insisted that I doxx myself. Good grief, sounded more like a Grifter than anything else. Short term mindset and doesn't actually understand bitcoin or protocols.

Over time we just have to sift through the real vs fakes

Yikes. These people are the absolute worst.

The influencer bitcoiner and cypherpunk bitcoiner overlap is very small

She also co-authored a book with a well known bitcoin dev, maybe that's even worse as its a permanent first impression to the outside public.

I wish I knew who you were talking about but then I'm all like, it doesn't sound like I'm missing anything NOT knowing.

How does one do both?

By only being a “cypherpunk” for the purposes of getting a bigger following

Like already happening here

now I want to know who makes this overlap in jb55's opinion... other than himself, ofc

I too want to know the answer to this.

Good.

Wait til you hear about the true cypherpunk and the person who understands economics overlap.
