I definitely feel the same as what you express in your edit. I was around and involved through both events and the parallels are numerous and stark. I’m hopeful that the natural co-mingling of independent communities on the Fediverse can be a somewhat natural foil. Only time will tell - more people learn about this alternative by the day.
No clue who she is. I didn’t watch the whole thing - that’s a great quote from Pulte indeed, agreed 100%.
Did he happen to mention anything about how participating or buying through a stock purchase plan will not result in DRS shares, and requires an extra step to move the plan shares into DRS?
Oh yeah - already there on all of that. Been turned off from BTC since the 2017 hardfork. I continue to believe an effective, cheap, and transparent settlement layer is a must if we ever are to separate money and state.
To speak more to commonality, I feel BCH XMR and GME have all undergone similar sidelining from establishment thought and media.
Well said, agreed with you completely. We have the tools in myriad ways to circumvent or destabilize the power structures which run rampant today. PB is a good thinker, and tries to keep even handed with his market commentary without focusing on any one asset (except academically) which I appreciate.
Looking forward to more similar cross contamination between our groups.
In the sense that Meta may have an informal profile on you through your browsing habits, cookies tracking, IP addresses and etc - it may be in some ways that we all have involuntary accounts kept on us with today’s major data brokers.
I don’t see how this could be avoided on web2. We (the user population of the internet) need to transition to open source platforms like this one / other activityhub fediverse capable softwares. There isn’t nearly as much incentive to learn about and try to advertise to us when we don’t allow any sponsored advertising on our instance.
There are other ways to advertise of course. Posting topics about how tasty a food item was, etc, could and should be weighed with skepticism on online platforms. I imagine this instance will stay focused on the DRS niche and so we likely won’t have to worry about that here.
Really interesting discussion all the way around. Thanks a lot for making this topic.
Really appreciate the transcript Jersan! Thank you for posting.
This bit here:
Larry Cheng: I think this is truly inspirational that you guys are all together. You guys are really defining what it means for retail investors to be in community, and what comes from that. And so, you know, when I think about what, where this is headed and where communities are going, from impacting the financial markets, it’s wherever you guys in this room want to go. Because you guys are on the forefront, and you’re leading it, and so kudos to you guys, because, I think that the power of individual investors in community will only grow over time. And, there are days in the future, where rooms like what you have, will be more important and more influential than Goldman Sachs.
This is the takeaway. You don’t have to think the PPshow is entertaining or that BBBY is a worthwhile investment thesis in order to see the echoing truth in Larry’s words here. Investor advocacy is entering a new golden age and there is no going back from here. People are activated, people are interested, and people want OWNERSHIP.
