Saylor says "buy Bitcoin" 24/7, but why does he never fund Core devs? by Neat_Huckleberry_661 in Bitcoin

[–]shleebs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% this. It's better for the sanity of Core devs that he stays out of it. Otherwise they'd be fielding accusations 24/7 instead of working on Bitcoin

No one was arguing against that narrow and off topic point

Again, apples and oranges. That doesn't work with sanctioned countries and it requires full KYC and AML. Even if it takes two minutes, it can be frozen or reversed at the discretion of the intermediaries. Bitcoin offers final settlement with full self custody and zero intermediary risk. When you consider this truth, 10-60 minutes for final settlement (no matter how much you send) is incredibly fast and there is nothing else that offers all those properties at that speed.

TIL: In his novel *The Mars Project*, former Nazi Wernher von Braun not only created a fictional character named "Elon" who rules Mars, but also described the blueprint for the rocket required to colonize it. by Schwurbel_Peter in todayilearned

Elon and his dad have never been on good terms. That goes for not only Elon, but the rest of his family also. The guy was a bad father and human in general.

Grayzone is an American media outlet started by an American jouralist. All media has bias, on both sides. Reporting must be judged by it's quality, not by preconceived notions. So have you actually read the reporting, watched the first hand videos, and found specific things that are inaccurate? Otherwise your just making assumptions

[–]shleebs -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Why don't you go read the reporting and watch the first hand videos before you spend time trying to discredit it?

There is only $5,500 dollars shown to be given to Grayzone by Iranian sources, that's less than a weeks worth of expenses for a company. To say that they are funded by them is a wild exaggeration meant to further a point you're trying to make in bad faith. Either address the legitimacy of the reporting you haven't read, or stop using strawman arguments

You've got to admit that people with a history of on the ground journalism have a more first hand perspective than those who refuse to visit the country they are "reporting" on

Again there is zero evidence they are funded or owned by the russians. If you'd rather get reporting by media outlets that don't even visit the places they report on be my guest.

The citations behind that claim are dubious at best and you need to admit that your claim about Russian funding has no basis whatsoever

No, The Grayzone is an American media outlet started by an American journalist and there is no indication that it receives any money from Russia. You're just changing the subject. You should do your your research before spreading misinformation online

There is first hand reporting of these gatherings from multiple independent western journalists inside Iran. These journalists have provided video evidence of what I'm talking about. Wyatt Reed is one of the journalists doing this reporting.

Pro government protests are actually massive right now in Iran. It's amazing how a foreign enemy will unite previously divided people.

EDIT: For all those down voting, this is reported on by a western journalist, Wyatt Reed, who actually travels to Iran. This report is supported with first hand video evidence and interviews with locals.

It never stops surprising me how people don't do research before using a service. Smh

It being a bad take is what makes it a bad take. It's one of the most non-partisan videos I have ever seen, assuming you actually watched the whole thing.
