Sounds funny about the influencer's name, Joe Nakamoto, perhaps claiming to be part of Satoshi Nakamoto's family. Well, that's an interesting video experiment, and I enjoyed watching it, but I have my doubts, what if the content is scripted and not true
? Or maybe he's just a well-known social media influencer, which makes it easier for him to ask for donations like a beggar.
If I'm not mistaken, this is the same man I remembered when he first joined Twitter. He wasn't a Nakamoto yet at that time. If my memory serves me right, he's a Pompliano, could be a relative to another popular Bitcoin advocate Anthony Pompliano. Well, I did a quick search and he's most likely Pomp's brother. He made a name quite quickly in the Bitcoin community thanks partly to his brother.
Whether scripted or not is probably not the point. He was indirectly spreading awareness about Bitcoin being actually accepted worldwide as money, and that it could be sent anywhere in the world instantly. It's a frictionless form of payment.
I haven't tried this in my country because there are no merchants yet that accept Bitcoin as payment, like a coffee shop. Someday, if there is, I will try this experiment.
There actually are, but it's sparsely scattered across the country. If you want to try it, please do. I might pay for your coffee.
