We will stand together in solidarity and not betray the true essence of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin will be crushed.  Resistance is futile.

You've spelled "Rich White People Whining" wrong.

The Borg would welcome bitcoin to their collective consciousness.

I haven't watched the video or visited the page yet but I'm all for it.

You've spelled "Rich White People Whining" wrong.

LOL.

What matters is the principle and the ethics regardless of it coming from the rich or poor, white or off-white.
What we are fighting for will raise the standard of living of everyone worldwide and possibly prevent a drone from dropping a bomb
on an African Village.


I get it though, it almost could be twisted into a "first world problems" bit...

Hey actually this was a very well-done video. It inspired me about bitcoin again even though the price is being beaten up as we speak. I recognized a lot of voices, and a few faces.

They truly believe bitcoin is the next big thing, and maybe it will be. This video is a good watch for people who feel like they need to regain some inspiration.

Yes, I liked the video very much.

It's symbolic, it brings an important message that reminds us all why we are here: that we are not here only for the pump, the dump, the hype and the FUD. It reminds us that, in the first place, we fighting for freedom, helping to build a better world.

I hope we will not simply forget what really matters and eventually get lost.

+1 I lol'd my ass off.

Still, those annoying white folks are right. Bitcoin IS sovereign.

Betta recognize fool.

[fanboy4]

Video is awesome, very natural fully agreed with these statements When we say Bitcoin, we mean the idea: the birth of cryptocurrency. We know it's not perfect. But we're not after perfection, we're after progression. We're after a way out. And we will not stop.
It's in early ages nothing can be expected to be perfect.

There's no opportunity for me to watch the videos. Can you explain what your premise, hypothesis, or position is so we can discuss it?

Its a bunch of "bitcoin celebrities" re-emphasizing the inherent sovereignty that was part of bitcoin's original design. Its a lot of talking in the first person but they all seem genuinely concerned about the issue at hand, even though it is not addressed directly (upcoming cryptocurrency regulation).

They are basically making the point that bitcoin was meant to be anonymous, untaxed and free to be used by anybody without having to sign over any amount of control to any government.

They don't specifically use words like "regulation", it just seems to be the undertone of the message.

Abandon all hope. Rise of the printing machines is coming.

What I like more it's the idea of Bitcoin Foundation that Bitcoin will help the poor ones: it's handled by rich people with the aim to get richer. Crumbles to poor ones.

Yes it is an eminent paradox that this supposed "tool to bring financial freedom to poor masses" is more commonly referred to as "a toy of the 1%."

Bitcoin wasn't designed to solve poverty, it helps whoever uses it, poor or rich.
Why don't you stop complaining about bitcoin and create your own solutions to help the poor?  Poorcoin?
Not all of us are white, affluent, or living in the first world either.

Great video!

Wow, defensive much? I think a nail was hit very hard on the head earlier this morning.

No, but the vast, vast, VAST majority of "us" are.

I imagine a lot of people are fat too.

Statistically speaking, you are correct.
