From Day one on Bitcoin Twitter, I realized how unfunny most of it is/was. Sure throwing out memes and funny quips and retorts can be funny. But not too many funny people stand out, Carla Bitcoin cracks me up and her original content is incredible. However, one day I happened upon a Publord and Anders "Toxic Bitcoin Happy Hour", I was listening, then I heard a voice.
That voice, at first I thought it was an Asian guy with terrible English. I strained to hear what the Hell he was saying. A language I would find out later, was essentially Yellow's own language as he purposely cuts, chops, and butchers words. This time, it sounded like he was mumbling and clearly pissed off. I was just waiting for the reaction of the Hosts.
Their reaction? They just laughed him off, "Oh Yellow...there you go again."
...that sent me into, who or what is this 'Yellow.' I clicked on the little icon as he was speaking again.
After a little research, the tears started to come as I struggled to breathe. I had found what I was looking for in the seriously unfunny Bitcoin Community of Maxi-Take-Themselves-Too-Damn-Satoshi-Serious, the funny? It's Yellow.
Sure Yellow is an anonymous puppet, you can buy all sorts of merchandise, he can be super caustic. One of my early posts I read from his was how he wanted people to torment Shitcoiners but to include him in the posts if things got heated. I followed some of them, classic trolling. Of the time I happened to be accidentally on a podcast for Altcoins thanks to Yellow and my not paying attention. I listened to what Yellow was telling them. He was mumbling something completely off topic about 'bubs' (Boobs). More tears.
Let's face it, some of our favorite, much beloved, Bitcoiners are completely full of themselves, for some, on stage with a microphone can be ridiculous. Yellow grounds us all, including himself. He's first to disparage himself with emotive posts of anger, tears, and laughter.
Which leads me to a list of my favorite top Yellow videos, some of these are masterpieces, most or all of which, you will not understand unless you are Bitcoiner toxic, maxi, or not. Yellow, like Satoshi, like the design of Bitcoin, doesn't care about any financial metric or social demographic box you check. (Or even if you are human - meaning AI will pick Bitcoin to do micropayments as it needs to use them as it helps augment the reality of working along side pretty stupid humans who can't physically or mentally work 7x24X365, no matter our self importance and Hustle Porn addiction.)
YELLOW HUMOR
These are in no particular order, we all know and love Michael Saylor, even when he sits on a chair that looks like a throne in a room, with mere peasants surrounding him, hanging on his every word. A room that has more books than my local library with a ship so detailed it is worth more than my house. Above all, Michael is THE Bitcoin "Popeye the Saylor Man." Instead of eating Spinach, Bitcoin is his superpower (look at those laser eyes), backed by "cyber hornets...energy...MIT...thermodynamics..."
1) Michael Saylor
In one particular podcast, Michael was explaining how movies, music, books, maps, GPS, all collapsed into the digital realm via Apple and the iPhone. Of course, he wrote a book on the subject, 11 years ago, and it is only in it's 40,627th edition on Amazon:
The Mobile Wave: How Mobile Intelligence Will Change Everything 40627th Edition
But now Michael is working on a Masterpiece, a composer of digital bits to bytes to words compared to Beethoven and notes. His legacy, it's Bitcoin. "Bitcoin for Dummies." "Bitcoin for Smarties." Bitcoin for everyone in between. Unlike the cell phone changing the world, he is now explaining how Bitcoin will change the monetary world and TradFi better look out as it is set to go to the same fate as entire industries prior to the cell phone. With Bitcoin, "You are the Bank."
Further vision of his, for free, visit Saylor.org if you want to know more on Bitcoin. Paraphrased Saylor: "Instead of reaching 20 students in some stuffy classroom, paying out of pocket, I would rather teach a million students around the world for free."
Bitcoin the Digital Property/Gold/Commodity and most important "Bitcoin the Protocol. HTTP, TCP/IP, SMTP, VOIP now we have MOIP/BOIP (Money or Bitcoin over IP) and it will,live on our phones now and transmit around the world at the speed of light for a 'nickel.'

2) "To the Sea..."
This one starts with Greg Foss (I am not a fan) this one hit me as well, he simply just tunes out what Foss is saying and puts things into perspective. Yellow understands, so many out there will never equal Satoshi's impact, nor does Bitcoin care how many podcasters, podcasts, books, sound bites, tweets, or Technical Analysis charts are out there. Satoshi even got so frustrated to even post out essentially one of my favorite t-shirts. Satoshi said this almost verbatim, 13 years ago before pulling a Houdini:
Bitcoin is that enormous. The Bitcoin Rabbit Hole doesn't give it justice. Bitcoin is really the largest Orange (is the new Black) Hole - think TON 618.

3) Some of the Technical Analysis on Bitcoin can be so ridiculous, especially when people are analyzing Bitcoin price over time. Green and Red candles, moving past the whatever daily average, Bart Simpson...it's just silly. I spent 35 years working in BI and I don't think there was one of the million reports or graphs I generated were worth a damn. Now with Bitcoin, it is such a beast, how can you possibly measure something our world has never seen before especially when about 1% understand it enough to be somewhat coherent even if they are not proficient? So, then I see how Yellow did this one, it is a personal favorite:

Disclaimer: This is embarrassingly incomplete, most of this is just from my happenstance online indirect interaction with Yellow. Yellow deserves respect and is my nomination for funniest Bitcoiner in the world. (Please post links/snippets to Yellow Gems and I will add them to this post.)
