Since not everyone (including me) aware of world news and events, can you mention the event/context? Is it part of peaceful protest or something else?

I think its in one of the riots due or protest due to murder of George Floyd. The message that he was trying to imply was really out of context though. That is not a great situation to include bitcoin into the topic. Very disturbing for me.

He's committed to the cause haha, I like it. I feel like we need more people in the public eye promoting in general so we can get a bigger worldwide interaction with cryptos. We're obviously doing well as it is, but imagine if we doubled the amount of people taking an interest by putting the message and ideas out there more!

I don't know who that guy is,but I wonder why the other protesters haven't kicked him out of the protest.

You answered to your question, man. The protests in the USA are attracting different weirdos.Social anarchists,liberals,social justice warriors...

I know the protests are necessary,but robbing stores and setting cars and buildings on fire is not the answer of the social and racial problems of America.
What the hell does Bitcoin have in common with racism and social injustice?

The flat-earthers of Bitcoin obviously doesn't have the word "sarcasm" in their vocabulary. It's also clear the troll didn't read how the topic is developing for context, and he might also be posting information without sources.

BUT, the sign guy is right! Bitcoin does "fixes this"!

Pretend the Deli was running a full node, it wouldn't accept George Floyd's counterfeit transaction, no police officers would be involved, George Floyd would be alive, he would just be looking for another Deli to scam with his $20.00 in Bitcoin Cash.

This guy probably want to reach Christian Langalis (Bitcoin Sign guy) notoriety by doing this. It is actually very stupid to link Bitcoin to violent protests and anti-government protests. Yes, Bitcoin had it's roots in some Crypto-anarchism / Libertarian groups, but we have moved on since then and people not affiliated to these groups are using it now.

These anti-government sentiments are doing more harm than good, so we should not encourage that. Yes, the racism thing was bad and the non-violent protest is necessary.. but some thugs have entered these protests and they are looting shops and damaging property.

Even the family of the victim does not condone that kind of action now, because it solves nothing. Angry

OR, maybe we're the stupid ones for not getting the meme? What if he's memefying this truly "memefying moment", which is actually the joke.

If he really meant to be a meme then it is genius, hope this is not you trying to chime in with the situation for the community as someone said they cannot find the picture when he reversed searched it Cheesy

I dont think if from the current protest and i dont think someone will even think of doing something like in such protest. With that been said, the picture was also posted on r.bitcoin but i think it a picture took in the year 2014 or 2016.

No it was posted recently and the picture i see is from a couple of days and if you checked the dates you would have known Tongue

I believe she didn't get the irony of the meme too, if it was in fact the aim of the meme.

Doesnt look very peaceful because people in background are not organised, all in different direction and its dark.
Most peaceful protests are during day, at night looting/rioting starting.

I get the point, but i don't see why peaceful protests couldn't be done at night Huh

Is he some sort of Bitcoin preacher? Imagine him preaching about BTC in the middle of the protest. I would like to know if it's a recent photo as well. Let's praise this guy haha.

Hahaha. I also don't think if this was taken during the recent protest in United States of America. For me, the phrase he is holding is like nothing to do in what protesters' fighting for, well, maybe he got some reason why?
I'm just laughing at the phrase he wrote, it's like he is into a cult or something, it's just funny. I hope this picture is taken long time ago.

It could be from the recent protests. There's a crisis going on there and one would think that Bitcoin would be a safer asset to hold right now instead of US dollars.

Promoting Bitcoin at a rally that is dedicated to George Floyd and the atrocities done by police on blacks in America does not sounds good. It is more looking like an opportunist trying to promote something for his own profit. I think it is absurd to discuss Bitcoin in this situation.

I don't think anyone will come out with this in the protest. This is something totally different, so I don't think this picture was taken during the recent protest. And by the way, I don't really get why people keep saying things like Bitcoin is the savior lol.

Bitcoin is good, no doubt, but some people keep making it seem like an easy pie and a place to get rich overnight. That's why a lot of people I meet these days that ask me about Bitcoin are only talking about whether they are going to get rich immediately and keeps asking really dumb questions. We need to make people understand first the main purpose of Bitcoin, it's not to make money, Bitcoin is more than that.

Maybe he's just taking the opportunity to induce market adoption and there's no other way he can think of to make people buy bitcoin. I don't see any problem here. Just an exagerration of the phrase "Bitcoin will save the US". Save from what? Financial instability? I don't think so. He might just have a huge amount of hodled bitcoin and he wants to earn profit fast Grin

.

If I'm on his shoes I'll just wear a shirt with a bitcoin logo, I think it's enough to advertise bitcoin in that way.

That was an edited art (maybe I'm wrong). Not even the source of this picture will capture the complete details where she got this thing.
I'd never think that someone will carry such adds during the protest, of course, I won't do that either because it is not the purpose to be there.

But anyway, it is not important anymore. And Finestream is right, we have to stop talking about it because it is not helping anyway because that cool guy doesn't know what he tried to promote.

First, I cannot find the source of this image. i have searched on google and found nothing about this pic. What I found was an old photo of a guy holding the a paper board with "Buy Bitcoin" behind Yellen and it was on in a serious meeting captured in the picture. And that is a photo of 2017.

regarding to the photo that OP enclosures, personally, I cannot give my exact opinion because:
1. We do not know where it is exactly
2. We don't know in what condition and also event of that guy holding the sign bitcoin.
3. We do not know what happen to the society, government, and also the guy
4. We even do not know the reasons of that guy exactly

probably if we know about his social media and we can ask him or someone else who know about this, it can be clearer. but now, is it only making some speculation?

What message would this bring, I don't think it's necessary to know whoever he is or ask anything on him.

I searched the picture in google, and I saw this in one of twitter's post of Jessica Huseman.

https://twitter.com/JessicaHuseman/status/1267317135178698754

That's the only information I saw, but you are right, we should stop speculating, bitcoin will never save us.

There is already a cult, and it's pretty active here, people with zero understanding of the economy claiming that a total collapse of the world economy is good for bitcoin and bitcoin will save us from everything. There are a lot who think that in a post-apocalyptic scenario bitcoin will survive and it will be the seen from which a new better and healthier society will sprout. But it's not about just about bitcoin, everything that threatens the current system is worshipped by those that don't agree with it, it happens like this numerous times in history, some people that were fed up with the current way of life saw in any opportunity a chance of turning the world in the place they like and get rid of the things they don't.

This is called accelerationism, the idea that society needs to collapse in order for the new order to be built. The idea isn't exclusive to any movement, and it isn't new either. In nazi Germany many communists refused to oppose Hitler as he was coming to power, because they thought they will replace him after he fails.

Quote from: Wind_FURY on June 01, 2020, 05:23:16 AM

Being "Bitcoin Jesus" in the thick of a societal collapse is NOT. Bitcoin CANNOT save us from stupidity!

Right, it's pretty distasteful to chime in with something so completely unrelated to the topic of the protests. Bitcoin can't solve police brutality or racism.
