one thing you'll never hear is someone walking into a dispensary and saying "i'd like some green crack and i 'm going to pay in dopecoin."
Greencrack is deemed to offensive so it was relabled greendream.
Girlscout cookies in colorado is being relabled cause the girlscouts complained.
A northern cali grower was ostricised from the cannabis community after winning a high times cannabis cup with an inappropriately named strain, god's pussy.
Most of the patrons who go to dispensaries are old people, looking for healing.
That is the audience. They grew up with the word dope. Dope to them is derogatory.
I reject political correctness and all forms of Cultural Marxism. I think I can speak for most of us who have been around here since the beginning that we are all out of fucks to give in regards to whether or not some trendy poseur out in California cries because the coin is called Dopecoin and wets his pants every time he sees a Guy Fawkes mask. We're hard core anti-establishment people here. Libertarians, anarchists (not the Marxist kind), rugged individualists, and free thinkers. We believe in free markets, self-ownership, and personal responsibility. Dopecoin was intended at its founding as a coin that was useful for both regulated and free (dark) markets to provide an electronic alternative form of payment that retained the anonymity of cash. The Guy Fawkes mask represents anonymity and revolution, it is a most appropriate symbol to represent the coin.
Every time a group of people rally around a symbol that represents overthrow of the status quo, the establishment seeks to co-opt the grass-roots movement behind it and the sends in the mainstream media to demonize the symbol.
For example:
A symbol of the American Revolution first appearing in 1775:
"She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage. ... she never wounds 'till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of treading on her."
Later adopted by the Tea Party, which actually started as the Ron Paul Revolution in 2007 by people who wanted a real change to the American kleptocracy. Co-opted by neo-con politicians and demonized by the main stream media to represent in-bred, over-weight, middle aged Americans with double digit IQs ranting about healthcare at town hall meetings. Branded racist by the establishment, and ridiculed by the media until the symbol was effectively destroyed.
We saw a similar degradation of the Guy Fawkes symbol with the Occupy movement. Started out to protest the occupation of the American government by corporations. By the time it was over there nothing left but a bunch of co-intel pro agents, a few radical leftists, and a bunch of filthy vagrants and criminals camping out in NYC.
I say we stand behind the brand. Reiterate what it represents and why it has meaning to us. It's our symbol and we shouldn't let them destroy it.
