‘Bitcoin and Black America’ Author: Protest by Buying BTC

[kryptqnick]

If you want to link something with Bitcoin, then link it with something good. (like charities)

I'm sorry, but is fighting against racism bad? To me defending human rights is just like charities. Of course, some protesters go violent and this isn't good, but the police also goes violent. If KKK promoted Bitcoin, this would be controversial and unpleasant, but we're talking about people of all races uniting for equality and demanding changes of a problematic system that treats people unequally and, in any case, violently.
And Bitcoin is indeed showing a way of using money without fearing any discrimination because of pseudonymous transactions, so I disagree with those saying Bitcoin has nothing to do with it.

I'm happy to see someone promoting bitcoin but not in this way people will find it unpleasant thing since its been advertise on the wrong place and might also this could give a bad impression to the government and instead we can get an adoption we will get an opposite reaction to the people also with legal bodies. It's best to promote bitcoins in a good way since it could give positive approach not just like that since it promotes hatred and violence.

i feel like at this point it is just random people trying so hard to take advantage of a serious situation to advertise bitcoin and failing at it too. it is just too small to be considered a "movement" as we can already see there is absolutely no change in bitcoin price or the demand for it, things are moving up on the same trend as before.

This. I wouldn't say random people though, but those who are obviously invested heavy on bitcoin are in the front and try to get advertisement and push their narrative for every "movement'. However, it failed, the price didn't move, on the contrary, we have seen some minor dip, but I'm sure it's not related.

Let this peaceful movement continue (without the looting) and send their message across, but please stop riding bitcoin with it.

Bitcoin has no connection to racism and discrimination. Bitcoin is maybe against the fiat system and the FED but absolutely has no connection to racism. Therefore i do think that his person has misunderstood bitcoin or is just promoting it wrong

[klava1983]

I can't understand how buying Bitcoin will help to overcome racism too. Bitcoin will be a payment method and residents will refuse to use dollars?

Bitcoin is anti-system so ther'e doing the right thing trying to use it as a tool for protests.

If they don't support what the government is doing they also should not support the current monetary system and show it by using Bitcoin instead of government issued fiat money.

I don't agree with using Bitcoin like a tool in a race war but i'm ok with it being used in an anti government campaign.

no they are not. they'd be rekt and without money since the government will only impose more rules on them. its not the best time to be anti government while there is corona yet. doing protest and mass gathering will just wipe them all up in the face of the world. this itself is a revolution in the act since gathering is already prohibited.

There's no good or bad time to be anti government! You either are or you're not.

Corona doesn't mean anything. We don't even know what effects it has on people since half of the infected have no symptoms and out of the other half maybe one for every 10 needs to be hospitalized.

Your comment proves that the pandemic made people more scared and awaiting for the government to save them and this is what the government really wants to seize more power.

Now look at this,

(https://cointelegraph.com/news/as-protests-rage-someone-in-crypto-wants-to-make-money-on-george-floyd)

We have a token called “George Floyd Token,” or FLYD in crypto sphere, and this is the result of people taking advantage of this situation. So again, it attract more attention to Bitcoin, and we think it's good for free advertisement.

But when someone takes this to the next level and use George Floyd name and created this shady token, then this is something that we need to inspect as it will bring another negative connotation to crypto space in general.

I created a thead about it to warn people, [Warning]: George Floyd token FLYD.

Buying Bitcoin just for the sake of protesting seems like a stupid idea to me.
I don't know HOW buying Bitcoin can actually change anything in terms of fighting racism and racial discrimination.The people,who are willing to buy Bitcoin have to familiarize themselves with the blockchain technology and the core concepts of Bitcoin.They have to believe in Bitcoin first.Buying Bitcoin just because BTC is an alternative to the fiat money system won't have a long term positive effect on the BTC community and the Bitcoin price,because those newcomers will leave the community and abandon BTC pretty fast.

Buying BTC is basically going against the system we are living in. This is how it helps - you're making moves against it as some kind of revolt. This has no connection to the newcomers abandoning us fast - if that's what they're willing to do, they'll do it whether they bought to protest against racism or not.

I used to think that short-term players are damaging the Bitcoin but it's not really true.. Whoever notices the real potential of it will stay and that's what truly matters.

Not really the case because dollar and btc are different things entirely but having just one similar thing, money.
Anyway, I think the Op thread is merely advert base. Taking bitcoin as a factor.

Bitcoin is no connection with the black lives. If I were there at the protest I might make print my BTC's QR codes and post it whenever there is a live telecast of the protest. I saw someone did it a long time ago and he gains a lot of BTC since then. I wonder if it would work this time again but too bad I'm not there at that place to try that of. You need an eye stealer slogan to do that today but as long as you really mean it someone will actually send some Bitcoin and you hold it in your wallet to remain as one of the histories of Bitcoin at its early age.

if people will keep the tension then its going to be the best time for government also to seize more power as they'd want more. both sides will just keep accumulating but never in the history will the government fail to do so. the government is always been that way even in the land of free.

the reality is those who will fight will just fight and then get killed.
one scenario here could be these people will pose like protesting but are targeting someone well known in cryptospace with a huge amount of BTC. or target  a rich individual probably famous too. making these worse that the government will be force to shoot lucky if they were just chalk bullets.

What nonsense! This is not a new movement, this is a person who wants to sell their idea in a book. It's a Scam, but with people's minds. I don't understand how bitcoin and the problem of racism are related.
