How do I do this here too?

#asknostr

One main thing I was thinking during this episode is the level of toxicity one may receive in bitcoin is based on is it in line or out of line with the status quo (Austrian econ, some right leaning/libertarian worldviews, etc)

So for me, intentionally talking about left/progressive things, I do face quite a lot of toxicity from bitcoiners broadly, particularly on X and some leading names.

Lyn leading with macro and economic things may be more “in line” or not like super confrontational to Bitcoiners broadly. And btw, I love Lyn’s work and think she’s brilliant, this ain’t a knock against that.

Many in the bitcoin space, when confronted with something different from their own worldview, can be quite toxic/hostile. So I think Molly is picking up on that more than Lyn has felt. THAT SAID, I receive more support than I do toxicity, and over time the support has grown as people get to know me as a person. Just food for thought, I can understand both their perspectives in this chat. So I think it’s more about ideological view than gender for what they were discussing in terms of toxicity receive and that can be enough to keep women and many others away from the space. nostr:note1xytgpgl836jphyuqcyhyvv2qc9c5dd0kek8mlzmp6gra92mvrx5qzjyxvw

Since its inception #BTC has survived and thrived regardless of who’s in the White House. The drama llamas saying the sky will fall in election year if the other side wins has proven repeatedly to be not true.

After each Bitcoin conference, as the main stage clears out I usually take a few minutes to chat with the cleaning staff to ask them if they learned anything over the course of two days. Because they find themselves in the room somewhat by chance and not by choice, it’s a great opportunity for them to start their journey learning about Bitcoin.

Yesterday, a lady told me “I actually did learn something. Someone on stage mentioned a 401K and how Bitcoin is a better saving vehicle. That got my attention, I’m gonna look into it”

Another one told me “I always see the Bitcoin icon in my Cash App but I never know what to do… is it a stock?”I helped clear that up for her.

Bitcoin 2024 was far from perfect, but if just for these two ladies, it was all worth it 🧡

think about the speech and the conference what you will, but the buzz here is great and the memes are fantastic & nostr is as amazing now as bitcoin twitter was in the good old days

SAD, Trump's pledge to fire Gary Gensler got way louder cheers than his pledge to free Ross. That's what happens when the number go up crowd forgets about whats more important, FREEDOM GO UP
