> Now I have “backpage ladies“ in my search history Click here [0] if you want the simplest rebuttal to the tools on HN saying BTC has no and will never have a usecase. In short: we proved them wrong a long time ago, they just are reluctant to find out why and how because it might taint their search history--likely while having no qualms with watching hentai or some other absurd kink on pornhub. Honestly, it was a a really good life experience albeit sad most times; most were just single moms needing to pay rent or buy diapers and on their last few bucks before getting evicted from their homes. They were shocked how we were the few people to treat them with any dignity and looked at them in the eye after telling us what they did. Most people here play with tech as it's a novelty or a toy, Bitcoiners build tech for things that most affluent people who work in tech will never need or require so they dismiss and then bitch and have sour grapes about 'not getting in before it mooned' not realizing this wasn't a get rich quick scheme but rather a network we used to onboard all the people most technologists never consider which has gained value over time. More than likely because they are used will exploit those same people for their own or their employer's (FAANG) benefit. It's hard to imagine back then that anyone believed Bitcoiners would be holding lectures at Stanford on startup culture because we were so fringe and built this tech for the most marginalized of the World in mind: like the backpage ladies. But then came Balaji, and then Thiel, and now Musk etc... Bitcoin does that, it gets you when you deserve to be in and for most that simply hasn't happened yet. It's a self-vetting system in many ways. It's hard to believe but this tech was it's roots from the cypherpunk meetups and mailing lists in the Bay area in the 90s which is unfathomable when you see what it's become now. Sidenote: I made a screenplay influenced by the webcam girls I met in Denver back in that time during my startup, it's based in South Korea but it has it's origins form all the experiences these ladies told me about as many became regular clients of ours who were wanting to learn to buy/sell bitcoin. Those girls still put all these modern onlyfans chicks to shame in terms of entrepreneurialism and probably could run a YC backed startup after managing themselves in that wild World. 0: https://bravenewcoin.com/insights/backpage-goes-bitcoin-only https://bravenewcoin.com/insights/backpage-goes-bitcoin-only
