Some of you might have noticed some minor drama on Twitter yesterday between Theycallmedan and a bitcoin guy called Lopp.
I dont know much of anything about Lopp outside whats in his bio on Twitter so I wont be using heavy insults like "bitcoin maxi" or anything like that to describe him.
What happened yesterday really showcases why crypto is filled with parasites like Bitboy, Layah, Mario etc.
Because apparently they are clearly valuable. If you dont have these guys talking about you, you arent relevant and masses wont hear about you.
Even when guys like Lopp become aware of HBD or Hive they refuse to take it seriously because they werent shilled it by specific accounts and whatever echo-chamber theyre part of.
Imagine the irony of a space thats supposed to promote individuality, self custody, DYOR that guys like this that have been around for 10+ years will dismiss and reject something simply based on:
But odder peepl didnt tell me bout it!
But Lopp ma boy, we are here telling you about it right now.
Now you know! Once I didnt know that some of the honey found in Egyptian pyramids was still edible after thousands of years. When someone told me that fact I didn't respond:
Bleh, I have 17 friends and none of them ever mentioned pyramid honey to me before! Pyramid honey is irrelevant!
I said "thank you" for that information. So you are welcome Lopp.
yum, yum HBD.
I dont think its misplaced to assume that the same attitude he has towards HBD is shared by all other large crypto accounts. Thats why influencers are paid off to shill it or large companies pay millions to promote their stablecoins.
The industry is as it is because that is the only way to get attention of big accounts like Lopps.
How many Lopps are there? A lot of them. At least 48.
