Are YOU โpro-BTCโ? ๐ง๐ง๐ง
The beginning of January saw the launch of โNakamoto,โ a new Crypto industry journal from Balaji featuring contributions from major industry leaders representing different developer communities, investment funds, and crypto companies.ย After a reference was made to all the contributors being โpro-BTC,โ some of the more avid Bitcoin maximalists called this into question as several contributors are also involved with other token projects (โaltcoinsโ), ultimately sparking a little cultural revolution/witch hunt as to what it even means to be โpro-BTCโ and who actually qualifies.
โCause I'm the taxman, yeeeeaaaahhhh, I'm the taxmanโ ๐คฒ๐คฒ๐คฒ
Roger Ver, the spiritual leader of Bitcoin Cash (BCH), made a proposal to create a development fund for BCH which would be funded via a forced 12.5% capture of the BCH mining reward, something akin to a tax on miners for public development of BCH.ย The irony of this proposal was not lost on the broader crypto community, as Roger Ver has historically been a staunch public Libertarian and has gone on the record repeatedly against the premise of forced government taxation - this apparent contradiction of course led to a huge proliferation of memes and jokes at his expense.
Having a Good Laugh at Peter Schiffโs Expense ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Peter Schiff, one of the more famous public gold bugs and a very vocal Bitcoin detractor, made a novice error in securing a de minimis amount of Bitcoin on his phone and then very publicly went to Twitter to complain about it.ย The crypto ecosystem united together to have a good laugh at Peterโs strong boomer energy, mocking his careless rookie error.
Random / Funny Stuff ๐๐๐
