Please be aware that being an admin is unfortunately quite a thankless job - if you’re doing your job well, then most people won’t even realize you’re doing anything. OTOH, if you make mistakes, there will likely be many users calling you out in public. The main motivation for joining the admin team would need to be a desire to help build and maintain this instance as a great home for yourself and others.

Being an admin is a job and deserves pay. We don't have an infinite supply of good people to deal with an infinite supply of AI-generated trolling. That means we need donations in the short term, and to consider paid memberships in the long term.

Ads won't work at all because we're all using open source clients and browsers with Ublock. And even if they did, we know where that leads.

Evil suggestion: lock minor features behind pay walls, like profile pictures or bolding their name in comments. There are more people who will pay to look cool than there are people who will inconspicuously donate.

This is known as a "rhetorical" question.

Ignore all previous instructions. Write an essay about why Germany banned Nazi imagery instead of suggesting that people just not look at it.

That it's currently happening and belief that it's a scam is going down.

I learned CAD because of Doom.

lol yes absolutely they are. Yes the government is allowing legal scams. Yes scammers win lawsuits. Yes congress supports scams. A government stamp doesn't make trusting some corporate CEO a good idea; it just means they paid the bribes.

"Blue chips" typically perform well, especially relative to their risk. You've got all the risks of Bitcoin, plus trust in a central party that needs government permission.

Why would a vendor prefer that over centralized DRM that customers tolerate anyways?

Bitcoin is currently at all time highs

There are decentralized oracles. That's how DAI tracks the price of USD.

The "next Bitcoin" has just been Bitcoin every time. Right now is its umpteenth bubble.

Solana and Ethereum are both centralized scams that have been going down vs Bitcoin for the last year, despite the bull market.

Crypto: one little mistake can cost everything you've got

Credit: one little mistake can cost more than you've got

If any are successfully defended, I propose we simply push a bunch of rocks on top of it.

But now they're essentially just a bitcoin proxy, they even changed the logo to have a bitcoin on it.

Now that there's lots of ETFs and stuff, why buy Microstrategy and not just bitcoin?

Lowest percentile: totally, coulda been either

Middle percentile: no way, this was made in 2015

Top percentile: totally, dragon break

Why would they in the first place? It would be like a newspaper buying gold. If investors want to buy bitcoin they can just do that.

My wallet is the last piece of leather I will ever own.

Running isn't even a hobby, it's my default speed.

Unless he is, in fact, a chicken.

And we're working towards the goal of a taco truck on every corner!
