I haven't been on Twitter in a long time. The last time I heard anything from Dan Held was a couple years ago, think. I'd forgotten about him until I saw folks mentioning him around here lately. I don't know what he did, but it seems he's out of favor.
Discussion
he once said coinjoins are “likely illegal” (not true afaik) and ruthlessly steals memes
He shits on lightning a ton & any use of bitcoin as a means of exchange, stopped listening to him after that.
He gained popularity alongside several others around the same time. Not naming names, but precious few that I still follow. Once someone becomes an "influencer," they lose my interest.
