nostr:npub17rz6swhn2lgeam84mm786e9m268hhqde7d6gaasx8g9znjdsj2pqgxzm6p is good on the subject of hyped up HW wallets

Although, after looking at his account here, doesn't look like he's talked much about them on nostr. His amusing / enlightening rants are on X.

How can ppl not see from even his self- chosen profile photo that Alex nostr:npub1trr5r2nrpsk6xkjk5a7p6pfcryyt6yzsflwjmz6r7uj7lfkjxxtq78hdpu is a complete wanker and a total fraud ?

Where Everything Except Bitcoin is a Scamā„¢

Welcome to The Maximoron Podcast, the only podcast where we scream about number go up, roast altcoiners, and remind you that if you haven’t sold your house for sats, you’re NGMI. Hosted by two self-proclaimed giga-brains who read The Bitcoin Standard once and now think they understand macroeconomics better than the Fed.

Episode 1: Fiat Is a Scam, But I Still Need My Sponsorships

We kick things off by explaining why the entire global financial system is a Ponzi scheme, while conveniently ignoring that our podcast is sponsored by a Bitcoin hardware wallet company that overcharges for a glorified USB stick. Special guest: an ex-VC-turned-maxi who used to pump altcoins but now only shills Bitcoin merch.

Episode 2: Why Altcoins Are Just Fiat With Extra Steps

We break down how Ethereum is a centralized scam run by lizard people, why every other blockchain is a "pre-mine," and how the Lightning Network is totally working perfectly (please ignore the liquidity issues). Meanwhile, our host still keeps some Monero for ā€œprivacyā€ but will never admit it on air.

Episode 3: We Love Austrian Economics But Ignore The Parts That Inconvenience Us

A deep dive into why Keynes was the devil and why every economy should just hodl indefinitely. We discuss how Bitcoin will fix everything, from inflation to your bad posture, without mentioning how network fees might make it unusable for the plebs in 10 years.

Episode 4: NGMI, Cope, and Other Words That Make Us Sound Smart

A lexicon of maximalist insults. We rank our favorites, from ā€œhave fun staying poorā€ to ā€œtouch grass,ā€ while completely ignoring that most of us only touch Bitcoin Twitter. We also debate whether calling people "NPCs" makes us look cool or just socially awkward.

Episode 5: Decentralization Matters, Unless It’s Bitcoin Governance

A hot take on why governance is a scam—unless it’s Bitcoin Core devs making changes, in which case it’s fine because ā€œconsensus.ā€ Featuring a guest who hasn’t written a single line of code but definitely has very strong opinions on Taproot activation.

Episode 6: We Don’t Need Marketing, But Please Buy My Course

A discussion on why Bitcoin should be purely organic and grassroots, while our host launches yet another paid Telegram group for "serious Bitcoiners only." Includes a rant about how we don’t need influencers—right before we interview an influencer with laser eyes in their profile picture.

Episode 7: Why Everything Is a Scam, Except the Scam I Like

We discuss the hypocrisy of calling everything a scam while quietly stacking yield-bearing Bitcoin instruments. Special guest: an OG maxi who swore off KYC but still uses Coinbase because ā€œit’s just convenient, bro.ā€

Join us every week as we repeat the same five talking points, dunk on no-coiners, and convince ourselves that Bitcoin will take over the world any day now. Subscribe now or have fun staying poor.

I'm s Bitcoin only person but I enjoyed most of this satire

Elon Musk is Gen X, so is Linus Torvalds, so is Adam Back. They're much more influential than you seem to think.

I would actually tend to argue that the smaller generations tend to be more influential. Ppl born in the 1930s (quite a small cohort) have tended to be very influential. Being a bit older than a large new youth generation is a powerful position to inhabit.

They've given up their pretence of being a Bitcoin development company, that's Lopp's point

And many more ppl follow what Saylor says and does, beyond MSTR holders

T-shirt messages are lame (even when it's a valid aphorism like this one) and a particularly US American phenomenon. Not a nation renowned for style, modesty or nuance.

Any Bitcoiners interested in an easy win in the culture war?

The Self-Published Science Fiction Competition has excluded Devon Eriksen from this years awards because they don’t like his tweets.

Devon has been on nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev's podcast and I believe a couple others in the Bitcoin space - I don’t know that he’s a maxi (ā€œmoney is a measure of fucks givenā€ is a great line) but he gets it and his views generally are pretty aligned with Bitcoiners.

Other authors have withdrawn from the competition in solidarity.

A new competition based on proof of work could easily spring up to replace these woketards, maybe nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a would want to submit her work to it when finished or nostr:npub1hqaz3dlyuhfqhktqchawke39l92jj9nt30dsgh2zvd9z7dv3j3gqpkt56s or the plethora other writers in the space?

Funding the arts, especially stuff that aligns culturally is an important part of winning.

This seems like a great opportunity. I couldn’t run a competition but I’d be willing to donate good Sats to a Bitcoiner led comp to displace them!

Literary awards always end up getting politically captured. it's best to disregard them entirely.
