i think you're only frustrated because you didn't take the time to think this through from the other person's point of view (mine)

i have 170k+ followers on twitter, most of them are actually happy with my content (naturally, otherwise they wouldn't have been consuming it) and are mostly positive

but i'm just a person like anyone else - i do not owe anyone my time or attention. i can't reply and entertain anyone who happens to feel angry about something and furiously reply about it. i have better things to do

and it's not just about my own time and attention. when i go into arguments on twitter with the angry minority, that arguments gets viewed by the rest of my audience. i have a responsibility to broadcast to my audience the content they want to see, not arguments with haters.

so when people repeatedly take cheap shots, especially when it's related to topics that i've addressed before and have no new information to add to, i tend to just block and move on.

it's not personal, it's just something that people with large accounts tend to do in order to maintain a quality standard

Lol so now you're an influencer and you do it "for your fans" 👌.

I appreciate the responses today, but you sound an awful lot like the scammer you used to call out.

You block people for proving you inaccurate or incorrect, because you are worried about your rep and your clout, because you now have monetized it.

Don't hide behind it being some other lofty ideal.

Guess after all this time in crypto you realized becoming an influencer and cashing out was your true passion.

I could care less about your fans, you never cared about them before either. I used to enjoy the open discourse and intelligent conversation. Now it's just believe what I post as truth or get blocked for questioning it.

if you don’t enjoy it, don’t consume it

why are you in this thread? you don’t seem to want to have a conversation. you make assumptions about my intents and motives, based on nothing but pure speculation. are you enjoying this? do you think this anger is healthy for you?

I'm trying to understand those motives you say I am making assumptions about, but you seem to prefer to deflect rather than answer.

So you are telling me there isn't financial motive? I'd like to understand what it is if it isn't that.

You went from preaching sovereign ownership of crypto, decentralization, and freedom, to promoting centralize custodials, POS, and NFTs.

That's a pretty big 180. From being on CT for years it seems strange that you would change your stance so drastically.

PS I have no issue with ordinals.

Before this reply you didn’t ask any questions, so how can you say I’m deflecting rather than answer?

I tried to explain my point of view, and then you made a bunch of assumptions and assertions about my motives. Where did I deflect anything?

I think everyone has financial motives. It would be silly to pretend that I don’t. But I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. I also had financial motives when I chose to get into bitcoin and tell everyone I know about it.

My thoughts on custody evolved after spending thousands of hours helping people learn about self-custody. I’ve seen countless people choose to pass on investing in bitcoin early, because they found self-custody confusing. If they used coinbase instead, they’d be way better off.

So my belief today is that self-custody needs to exist as an option, and power users like you and me will probably use it, but MOST people will not. They need good custodial options.

I assume you’re probably referring to some specific one but this reply is already very long so I’ll let you say what is the specific thing you’re bothered about and we can continue from there

That's not an argument... ;)
