As a kid I learned assembly language so I could make my TRS-80 Space Invaders program run faster. Now I am one of the army of people that make the Internet happen.

@nukeworker10 This is the sad fact for Monero. Our attempt to fulfill the design goals of “Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash”, are mungled with “Internet Gold” (it isn’t) and NFTs.

I’m grateful that conspiracy theorists *haven’t* latched on to Monero en masse; it’s a ripe target. Unfortunately.

@Saki @tusker I happen to know the CEO of LBRY/Odyssee. He was very upfront about Odyssee being an ad-generation/metadata-sales company, when it was created in the face of LBRY slowly losing money.

Incredibly perverse, given Odyssee’s marketing. Kinda like those slimy VPN companies that do protect you from your local Internet carrier… but not from their own advertising & tracking.
