Read all of that, and tell me that isn't a Bitcoin activist?
Lauda can speak for themselves.
In this specific situation, the definition of PROMOTE is ADVERTISE. Somebody like OP knitting a Bitcoin sweater and posing in it on her Instagram which has 5k of followers while she explains the properties of Bitcoin to her followers would be considered more effective promotion. And actually, yes, 5 great posts can easily cancel out small insignificant ones made in the off topic forum.
If you didn't like her, you should have been mature enough to just ignore her. I did a good job of ignoring their obviously silly threads in off topic and just paid attention to their brilliant ones. Also, speak for yourself. Don't speak for someone else.
So, what have YOU done to promote?
