@molly0xfff VIDEO CLIP + NOTES:

VENTURE CAPITALIST PEOPLE
PUSHING BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY AS MARKETING

(OPTIONAL DEEP NOTES BELOW FOR THOSE STUDYING
- ABOVE IS MAIN CONTENT)

Things can be done without blockchain (as said in presentation - click here to see post). Blockchain is almost always added for marketing and money spinning purposes.
Many things don't need it / have been done already without.

Pushing technology is often to people that don't understand.
Venture Capitalist know that and sell people out at the end

Pump and dump is a phrase for this.. Creating hyperbole and excitement and then close the show with the people's money bags packed on the way out / rug pull type stuff.

A false narrative by venture capitalists.

Even the companies or venture capitalists don't know their stuff other than make money from people..

I have to admit my bias that Bitcoin people have always talked about it constructively and without running away. So those people who patiently answer all questions or come back to tables is what is going to win trust and proof it's not just about money (while accepting electricity etc is an exchange for some security away from Banks and authoritarian domination, and perhaps always an exchange )

At the end we need to get away from just banks having control of our whole life for many reasons morally about and financially bankrupting countries.
