I’ve seen this joke made basically continually throughout my time in crypto and ya it’s funny, etc 

But too be annoying about a meme:

Today on my personal Twitter (don’t follow any crypto ppl, nada) I saw this dumb post from some anti crypto people, I don’t agree but it resonated.  

Winkelvoss’ post is almost absurdly tone deaf, fire ur ghost writer or pr guy cam. no one cares about corporate legal fees in the context of American politics

As long as we imagine ourselves as outside of the world, trapped in a speculative bubble of our own invention, we’ll never be more than incel forum moderators, vape stores, or fedora salesmen. Who will think of us? No one

Crypto doesn’t need people to think of them. Fairshake bought everyone off.

Yes you will all still be low status vape salesman. But legally low status 🤗 doesn’t matter 😀

not mattering but having legal personhood sounds a lot like our human future in an AI world 

number go up, I guess - sorry gotta help this guy who wants to buy a fedora. ttyl!

Crypto won every race it put money into and the next President ran his own crypto scam. Who cares about the respect

? I don't know what you mean by respect I just think the winkelvoss brothers are cringe, this messaging is retarded, and I do think cultural relevancy and interest matters 

crypto acquiring political influence with capital is super normal politics, it always happens and will have positive impacts on significant stuff for us (regulations primarily) but hard to see all that mattering if we continue to be the fedora guys forever

culture is important

well definitely not trying to lecture anyone - I speculate way too much for that. I'm sort of here and not on CT for the same argument I'm trying to make in that post - we have to be in the world. 

that means lots of stuff. we have to lobby! and maybe organize a bit, develop some political values that we can speak to along with dumping money in obscure races and achieving targeted regulatory wins. crypto lobby spent a ton on ads that didn't talk about crypto at all - they know no one cares. Is that enough? 

Is the future of crypto basically just Coinbase + Pump.Fun? Doesn't feel bigger and better.

one thing I respect a lot about trump is that he gets soft power, cultural power. He didn't try to mold people to his message, he brought it to them. He'd NEVER tweet that winkelvoss legal fees stuff. We (or people who matter, not me!) should study that a bit imo

Crypto outspent every group that gets dinged for lobbying by a magnitude of order including oil and Big Pharma. That’s not normal….

Culture is important …. but hypergambling is the predominant culture? It has been this way for years and years now. Yelling at people to change is not the way, they won’t. You can’t fix them proxy, you can only be bigger and better
