Influencers Slip Ups #1

Did I just say that out loud....?

I'm going to start posting screenshots of influencers from around the web, when they are caught in moments of what I can only describe as Freudian slips. Basically saying the quiet part out loud.

Here we have two of web3's bigger influencers, with Brycent probably being the biggest. While I am not all too familiar with the Crypto ethos of Stache, I am all too familiar with Brycent.

Brycent is someone who has had to pivot several times, as he made his name known during the Axie Infinitie craze and would go on to preach how play to earn (P2E) gaming is changing lives. While that's a story for another day, he has since made it very clear that P2E gaming is a dead concept but likes how Web3 along with NFT's enables ownership of digital items and allow players to have a say in game development etc..

What he doesn't say often is that he is in it for the money. With crypto still a wild west, especially when it comes to regulation, those with enough upfront capital can get in nice and early into crypto projects and cash out once retail gets a chance. I have a suspicion that the only reason Brycent still hangs around web3 is the money making potential and he doesn't care how.


Stache and Brycent let the world know thier true feelings on web3.

Both Stache and Brycent point at the money making potential of this bot farm which is playing a web3 game that we can only speculate rewards the player with some sort of crypto. Brycent especially has talked about only playing web3 games that are fun but I struggle to see the entertainment factor here.

Both these influencers I believe are not being honest when it comes to thier reasons for being involved in web3 gaming. They might say the crypto is a bonus but without a crypto token that has some value to some other fool, these two have no incentive to continue supporting web3. They are here to make the bags and once that is all gone, don't expect to see these two sticking around. This small interaction says alot about the true feelings of these two.

The Futile Saga: Blockchain

From Riches To Rags, Tech's Biggest Flop. President John F Kennedy in May 1961 promised to land man on the moon and return them safely to earth, within a decade. This was accomplished in 1969. If given almost double the time, what could the whole world accomplish ? Blockchain. Most of you probably first heard of the protocol when someone told you about Bitcoin and for many that was probably the last time you ever heard or even came close to interacting with the technology. For others, it is a technology that was promised and still promises to disrupt the internet as we know it. Prolific angel investor and serial self help author Gary Vaynerchuck even proclaimed it was so innovative and disruptive he likened it to when humans first discovered fire. Yes the hype and buzz behind the abilities of blockchain where grossly over-exaggerated and claims like that didn't help.  A short history of nothing happening. Almost 15 years since Blockchain was thrust into the world, there have be...

Crypto Twitter: No-coiners Are Dumb

Twitter, full of all sorts of opinions. Opinions I used to get from these two. Due to faults in their logic and behaviour, both have either blocked or been blocked. Daniel was blocked because he was very good at turning an argument in his favor by using logical fallacies and whataboutism. Far too often did I have to redirect the conversation because he would employ some logical banger that would derail the topic completely, employing red herrings which I had to constantly remind him where not important to the topic we where engaged in. In the end I got tired of him arguing opinions or context in things I did not say, by purposefully twisting the meaning of what i would write. The sad part was I did agree with some of his critiques of the Crypto/ web3 world and he would always interact with posts but I couldn't have someone purposefully twist my argument all the time, without annoying the shit out of me. For that he was blocked. I've also come to realize this article got me bloc...
