Bro, do you even blockchain?

It's all about the blockchain. The blockchain is so hot right now. A succinct article by Erik Voorhees (must read!).

Erik always writes amazing things.

Here is another great quote from his article:

Erik is trying to sell as many shitcoins as possible, while parading in a crypto-anarchist "costume".

He continuously pumps schemes which have basically 0 reason to exist. I think his activity is a borderline scam.

"And while the technology brings with it vast promises of financial innovation, these cannot be discussed in terms of “Bitcoin,” because this term brings with it all the aforementioned baggage. One cannot discuss Bitcoin in polite company, for the conversation may veer into one of monetary theory, human rights, massive sovereign theft and bank fraud… better stick with the weather."



let them use Blockchain instead of Bitcoin. I lived through alot of bitcoin-phases now:

-bitcoin is a scam ,
-bitcoin is a ponzi,
-bitcoin is play-money,
-bitcoin is boring but the blockchain is the real thing!

we are sailing towards the truth

Can you give an example of when he has ever done this?

I saw four tweets reporting the news.
None of them recommended anyone buy anything, or participate in anything.

Also, it is VERY easy to embed links in your post so people can just click them.

I just did it for you:

Weird, I can't see the links. That's why I used " ".
Maybe it's because the adblocker I use.

Obviously a direct pump like "buy x shitcoin and you'll be rich" tweet wouldn't work, Erik is more sophisticated than that.

On the other hand, if you examine the blockchains of the schemes he advertises, it's apparent that they do not show growth (LTC, BTS, and a number of others).

I think this kind of behavior is highly malicious for the whole crypto scene.
