Understand that as a bitcoin business or self-proclaimed educator: encouraging the public to participate in something you can’t even say you endorse, for profit, IS A SHADY THING TO DO to those listening to you talk or engaging w your content.

Cut the snark and learn from this. It’s not a good look.

Bitcoin does not require trust but running a business does. Building a brand does. Keeping your customer base does.

Take some responsibility and accountability.

Reputation is everything.

As an individual it doesn’t really matter what you choose to do with your personal bitcoin. Experiment all you want. Only YOUR money is at stake.

AS A BUSINESS YOU ARE HELD TO DIFFERENT STANDARDS.

Your influence carries weight. You *need* customer trust.

Be careful with it.
