Bitcoin Corruption and Other Memes

(Edited)

I was browsing Reddit before going to bed last night (I know, I know…) and I came across two memes that amused me. Thought I’d share.

Here is the first:

This of course immediately brings to mine some of my thoughts about the financialization of Bitcoin that I wrote about the other day. Go read that post if you missed it.

It is kind of funny how the talk around BTC has changed. It used to be about destroying the system and changing the world; now it’s about getting the system to buy more of it and pump our bags so we can retire rich. How we went from the very anarchist “save the world by destroying the system” to the much more Republican “I want to be secure and rich and fuck everyone else” I’ll never really understand.

Well, it’s as they say: money changes everything. Unfortunately.

The next meme I came across:

heh that’s funny. I love the outdoors and do get outside as much as I can, so I love opening the windows wide to let in as much light as possible. But I also very much relate to being annoyed when that sunlight hits the computer screen.

You know, I spent extra money with my latest MacBook Pro to get their nano weave screen that is suppose to be visible in direct sunlight. While it is more visible in direct sunlight than a normal screen, it’s really not that much better and I still find myself either closing the blinds so I can see the screen or trying to reposition it so that I can get the best of both worlds.

Anyway — enjoy the memes!

Those are both funny memes. I have a hard time seeing my phone in the sunlight though….

I have a window on the west side of my office, so when I have to stay late and the sun comes around the right way it basically makes my computer unusable. The worse part is I have a blind that covers the bottom part, but there is a top window that is just exposed all the time. Thankfully, it only happens this time of year and I don't really stay late much these months.

I'm in class right now. Teenagers be like vampires: 'can we shut the blinds and leave the lights off?'. Me: 'You need your Vitamin D'.

Most Bitcoiners I know are anti banks as ever. The shills just get pulled to top. As a bitcoiner , I can’t stand the “top content creators” there hacks. But the normal people in it don’t sound like that to me at all. At least most. Just like everything,the noise and nonsense usually gets the attention. I see way more shilling to the banks from the crypto community than Bitcoin community, it’s silly how many new ish bitcoiners have podcasts and get the headlines and MSM appearances. Nothing had changed, just the noise gets the attention. As a bitcoiner myself, I can’t stand the hacks, lbut nothing new seeing them get the promotion & attention. I haven’t seen most the 2013 peeps change tone, just a bunch of hacks grabbing the mics. !PIZZA !LADY
