The point is not about agreeing. It is about people in the space that pass themselves off as paragons of virtue and technical excellence. But as soon as self interest enters the equation 1% they turn into Bernie Madoff (cold card shilling, selling maple as a revelation) . I suspect thats what happens with anyone even loosely associated with the American Bitcoin Mafia like Seth.

I don't have all the chronology down so idk about the first question but definitely the second question. At one point I checked and they had an "api" that was just double the price of going straight to Tinfoil. Pure middleman status. And no shame or humility either.

You're competing on a layer that's commoditizing fast (routing). When you could just go up layers and build secret sauce that's not commodity. That's my point.

It's pathetic man I can't take it anymore. I tried giving @npub1tr4…2y5g the benefit of the doubt in OP but it's been months and he hasn't responded. So I can only assume he's in the back rooms circle jerking with these guys trying to con everyone into thinking Tony and Mark are Jesus Christ.

Valiant effort in a sense. But you're still contorting to be a middleman in some capacity. People can vibe code their own clients now. Move higher up the value chain imo.

There are a lot of high profile bitcoiners I *want* to respect. But there's always some catch or bullshit narrative that goes along with it.
For example @npub1tr4…2y5g - says something like "Maple is a revelation". When really they just proxy Tinfoil and other TEE providers. They didn't invent TEE. They didn't even invent OpenWebUI. They just made a simple (not particularly impressive) implementation of combining the two. And the Bitcoin Media Industrial Complex circle jerks around them as if they're Einstein.
This is why we don't have real innovation. This is why we don't have real capital coming into the space to invest in projects. Total lack of imagination, rigor and meritocracy.

It's a big club and you aint in it. Now give us your sats and say thank you.
The OpenSats country club needs you to believe theyre a "democratic org" with "no dictator" after they let NVK sit there and ABUSE devs that MIGHT interfere with his business interests. For damn near a decade. With Odell parroting this same hollow line that "there are 9 board members = fair and democratic". Two aggressive businessmen surrounded themselves with nerds and women. As if those with no dog in the fight would say no when those two decided to steer money to friends and away from threats to their business interests. Total sham.
Odell is still on the board. The people that watched and enabled NVK's bully behavior and nepotism are still there. And they want you to believe theyre completely transformed and democratic. It is a lie. Do not give a sat until Odell steps down and theres major reform.

good job sucking up to Odell. You got +1 on your punch card. Get to 10 and Odell will let you watch next time he fucks your wife.

It's wild how fast the "Red Team" and other distractions just white wash the whole Cold Card fiasco. People should genuinely go to prison if not have their assets stripped.
Note that most of the guys involved with promoting funding and running the Red Team were best buddies with NVGay and enabled his behavior for damn near a decade.
But the Orange Z List Celebrities will keep on white washing and the sad thing is most of yall are pussy ass bootlickers and will let it happen.

Kudos to @nprofile…hs8c for having the courage and honesty to admit this. This is exactly what EVERY influencer did. The ones that just followed the crowd and didn't have business ties deserve some level of grace once they eat their humble pie.
Then there are others like @nprofile…cd8v and @nprofile…l2yj that were attached to NVKlown at the hip. They watched him bully competitors and FOSS developers for YEARS. Shaming people for having the audacity to question or responsibly disclose bugs. Diverting funds away from grassroots projects that hurt GlowKite's bottom line.
There has to be a reckoning. In the immortal words of Matt Odell "Sorry isn't good enough". If you wanna get real serious: restitution paid to the people that yall lead off a cliff. Odell needs to step down from OpenSats immediately. Anyone with a conflict of interest needs to be removed immediately and a clause should be introduced. Pick a lane if you want to be a philanthropist or a businessman. If @nprofile…5h0z fails to do this we need to make alternatives.

The Great Whitewashing: OpenSats just got rid of NVKlown ten minutes ago and now theyre simping for wannabe dev influencers and irresponsibly disclosing vulnerabilites. When all this work could be done quietly with no fanfare with 0 impact to the mission.
By the way notorious NVK enabler Matt Odell is still on the board and will likely remain. Rob Hamilton is besties with NVK and would probably fellate him on site last week. You do not loathe these people enough.

People I respect like @nprofile…e723 thought I was just stirring the pot for no reason in this thread. I wasn't.
The Cold Card hack is totally unsurprising to me. Most people experience the personalities through a screen. When you really interact with them you understand: The Ten31 crowd has been acting like a cartel for a long time. All they care about is their bags. They pick winners and losers. Arrogant. Contributing very little in the form of chit chat but expecting a huge chunk of the pie. Acting like celebs.
The tears we saw from Odell today are crocodile tears. They'll go back to their multi millionaire lifestyles. They're just sad that their influence and rep is forever tainted so they won't make as much off of them.
I really hope the plebs can see the game now and look at things in a more skeptical light. This cleansing has been a long time coming. The space needs new voices. Soul searching. New ideas. Less arrogance. More building. More open minds and diligence. And less complacency.
I'll finish with this: I am encouraged by what I've seen and personally experienced with bitcoiners helping one another through the crisis.

Crazy that this is what it took to remove an OBVIOUS conflict of interest. Your reputation might never recover but it certainly won't when you still have more in the form of Matthew Odell.
The circle jerk has to end. And it has to end now. I wipe my ass with OpenSats "reputation" and anyone affiliated until there's major reform. https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsw5su0652w2lah9newftqvhscmtem7y3jkh78afqrc7ruf2f6xergc28rcc

@nprofile…lfze much love and respect and congratulations on the Radar release. Truly remarkable.
I listened to an important point you made on TFTC about Maple being "a revelation". I'm not sure if you've done a deep dive but it looks like all they're doing is wrapping another service called https://tinfoil.sh and charging a huge margin on top. Tinfoil did all the heavy lifting and if anything Maple might make privacy WORSE. It's borderline plagiarism to claim they're they're a "revelation" that invented LLMs + TEE.
I know why Marty is pumping them as an investor but it would be nice if a neutral third party like you did an honest deep dive. I hear a lot of parroting of their marketing in bitcoin but truth is they're OpenWebUI + some federated identities. Decent work. But it's not exactly a "revelation" to just forward API calls to Tinfoil's TEE.

Oh look the nym that is retired and hiding out of fear says im a coward if i dont leave myself vulnerable to VC podcasters retaliating against me.
Hey Laser why didnt you take your beef directly to me privately instead of cry fighting on nostr? You are totally killing the wholesome vibe bro!

Odell took a moment away from posting about Saylor every day for this: Giving David Bailey the lightest possible reprimand "NAKA is a shit show". Don't worry guys, he'll be going right back to posting about Saylor and legitimizing every one David Bailey's Shitcoin Magazine events.
David has been instrumental in blurring the lines between Bitcoin and Crypto hiding behind "muh I don't gatekeep". He sure as hell does and he lets the shitcoiners in. Silence from Odell and the other VC podcasters that are deeply concerned about their bags.
On to NAKA: Bailey collaborated with shitcoiners like Balaji to pump NAKA to the fuckin moon. Now it's down ~99%.
But ya Saylor being the cokehead degen we always knew he was is the REAL problem with Bitcoin. Thanks for your input Matt.

More than 99. Emotional distress lawsuit.

I'm deeply concerned about Michael Saylor's rhetoric and behavior lately. He pulled a bait and switch on bitcoiners. We need to have a serious conversation about what it would take to restore his reputation. Here's the exhaustive list of what needs to happen:
1. Saylor should change his name legally to David Bailey
Then all of his behavior, shitcoining and duplicity is forgiven instantly. Because someone named David Bailey can do no wrong. Just ask the podcasters and self appointed moral police of #bitcoin

"It is clear to me that most 2A advocates don't actually care about gun rights but it's the only reason I'm here. It's the most important thing to me. If you don't support mentally ill retards' right to waive guns around and make threats then you're not a real 2A advocate.
People said the same thing when I started criticizing my direct competitor that I definitely do not have an interest in making look bad. Look at me. I'm based and cool."
