Is that sarcasm?
Partially.
That's Vitalik, and he's hardly a "no-coiner".
Lol, am I supposed to recognize him or something? I'd say "nocoiner" applies to anyone who doesn't hold Bitcoin, but in this case "shitcoiner" might fit better.
It does explain this slide though: he only used Bitcointalk to promote his own centralized shitcoin, and left right after. He started strong with "code is law", and abandoned that too when he and his friends lost their shitcoins in a smart contract they didn't understand. They even called the only person who understood the contract "the attacker" and hardforked their centralized coin, thereby abandoning the one USP they had.
Ethereum got big selling tokens for ICO-scams that spammed all over the internet.
Knowing who he is, it looks like he's talking about himself when he talks about "not advocating decentralization". And it also explains why he's still shitting on Bitcoin: he needs his own shitcoin to survive.
Loool. You don't even recognize one of the most influential people in crypto
Sorry, I don't do "influencers". Bitcoin is not about "influential people", Bitcoin keeps going
despite many "influential" people
declaring it's dead.
The vast majority of crypto "adopters" that have pushed the price so high don't actually care about decentralization. Rude truth is that the majority of crypto enthusiasts are just FOMOing in trying to get rich.
I guess I have a different definition of "Bitcoin users". I follow the "Not your keys, not your coins"-principle, so all those people building a "portfolio" on an exchange don't even count. You don't call someone who buys Toyota stock a Toyota user, right?
The volatility is not good however this is why stable coins exist.
I've never liked stable coins: not only do you completely rely on a centralized third party, you're also exposed to the same inflation fiat money gives you. That's not "stable", it should be called "decreasing coins".
I'm not alone:
"yes... a shitcoiner is a nocoiner"
