if you want to know whether someone is sentient or a NPC, just say you think Bitcoin podcasters secure the network more, at this point, than miners do. NPCs will immediately give you a knee jerk response or have a complete mental breakdown. Sentient beings will take time, smoke a cigarette, and give you thoughtful feedback regardless if they agree or disagree with your claim.

*takes a long puff*

Bitcoin podcasters deserve the block rewards at this point... bitcoin should be forked to replace proof of work with ptoof of podcast..

Now we’re talking

There is nothing proofier of work than podcasting

when you listen to a bitcoin podcast you can tell pretty quickly whether or not the hosts are building on top of the chain w/ most work or just broadcasting noise

Core devs will never do it as they will keep try to co-opt bitcoin.

terrible idea. many influencers are easily corrupted.

I don't know. What I know is that 99% or more of podcasters are probably NPC. Sentient people don't have the need to be the leader of any sect, neither a member. Sentient people think all the time, all their life: why the fuck did I get into this fucking stupid world, and how the fuck do I get out!

people don’t start bitcoin podcasters because they want or need to be leaders. they start bitcoin podcasters because they realize they are leaders already, whether they like it or not
