The Crypto Maniacs Podcast - The Bitcoin ETF is Here! Yay? Episode 283

We shouldn't really call ourselves CRYPTO Maniacs unless we addressed the biggest story in crypto for.....A few months at least ;)

Yes, the gate keepers that are the SEC, approved a bunch of Bitcoin ETFs this week and people lost their minds....

We touch on that and the continuing hypocrisy of the crypto world in this episode of the 'Maniacs!

LEO Power Up Day - January 15, 2024
avatar

Hive twitter? What? Just wow....

avatar

Yup, lots of people that swear by Hive, live on Twitter. Figured I'd just brand them as Hive Twitter lol

avatar

It's kind of like the Leo community begging for people to buy premium and then screwing over the users... I was highly disappointed.

avatar

As I'm now officially a part of the LEO Team, that's something we want to address. Any concerns, I want to hear them and work with people. that's why they brought me on.

Nothing is perfect on any front end on this chain, but speaking from my own experience, LEO wants nothing but to support the community in anyway we can.

avatar

I got treated so bad that my other friends didn't say shit.

And yeah I got gifted premium and spent the first week begging for help only to be ran off laughed at mocked and ignored.

A couple people came and tried. A couple. While the main group stood by and watched me flail about.

My friends? Tried asking. Tried to find help. And we're relying on me as we went in as friends and together in trying this out.

But yeah misled about the entire thing. Given information that always directly contradicted itself. And then the issues with thread casting and votes?

Oh yeah coming from.my friend that paid premium and ended up paying Leo for nothing and him being ignored? Left out?

Then I'm apart of the Free Comments Mental Health Ambassador program and was hoping to fully integrate it with our team? Ha! Now we have multipleembers that are appalled and don't want anything to do with Leo inleo or being taken advantage of.

And I've continued to get disrespected and harassed about speaking up. I was called inconsequential by one Leo member. That I'm just upset.

Well I barely broke even. After busting my ass doong the crappy thread casting and outreach comments x3 plus having to put it into a secret thread chain to maybe get considered...

Your little flowsheet? It's all made up. That's not how you really consider posts or OUTREACH for helping members.

So yeah Leo is really a big hustle. We got took hard and now there's people that don't like leo.

Sure sucks where you have people come.tru and even support Leo? Then get shit on.

And as to my friend I'd be happy to introduce you to him. He doesn't want to be public and I respect that. But it's another hige shitty thing to watch your friend get treated even worse than I got.

So yeah. Leo is in trouble. Running people off and mistreating new users? It's like anyone Leo wanted to mislead us and get us doong the wrong things so thier chance at beong paid was greater...

Customer service and support for premium members ZERO!

Oh and then Leo is the worst front end. Eating comments and crashing in theiddle.of.ypu using that paid for markdown?

Then report the issue and get laughed at and told it's your fault. Leo is fine. There's nothing wrong. Then have a friend tell you that you wrote it on a different front end then Copy paste and publish it on inleo. Because of the instability? Just wow.

Before making it all shiny and more glitter like taskmaster keeps promosing how about making it stable so it don't flop while its being used? Nope! Let's make it top heavy and over.prpmose and under deliver then gaslight the customer.

And yeah a group of us tried leo. Now theres no chance of my friends paying for premium. There's no way I'm going to be a repeat customer.

Go look it up. Shame it's all published here ain't it?

Leo premium for just markdown and the "services" offered? Dont that just scream scam?

I ""have"" markdown anyways across all front ends and leo is the only one that gets to sell it?

Then how about that ad revenue! Sure would be a shame that is paying only the in crowd and not the common user.

Oh I'm a stakeholder. Not that that meant momuch to anyone in Leo.

But yeah you want to know? Leo shit on its own reputation and I've heard mixed things. My premium membership was a complete disaster. I won't put up with all the garbage crabby behavior. I'll speak my mind about the honest facts and how I felt about my experience.

So basically good luck I mean, I feel really bad for you having to clean up the massive mess that Leo made. Basically it's like you are now the janitor of Leo and the entire circus.

Seriously just getting the site functional is going to be a phenomenal amount of work. The fact that everybody wants all this super shiny glitz and marketing. When you basically have the worst garbage in the world you're trying to sell?

Leo absolutely needs to fix the problems before it can build on top of it. In fact if it had just basic functionality it would be a Haven...

Yep if you can't tell Leo gets me heated.

Nothing like a front end that steals your hard work and members who gaslight you for the fact that the Leo front end is the worst put together front end on our blockchain? Says volumes.

Then user retention? Shit you scared off friends that were watching the people who had just paid memberships. Making this a complete domino effect and robbing the Leo community of multiple long-term users....

If you want to hit me up please do. Once I was in the Leo discord room however because of the behavior I left.

Over the past few weeks, it's been evident that priority number one has been to get the platform more stable. And I'm sure a ton of things got overlooked simply because, the focus was 100% on getting the node up and running.

Not making excuses, but I think we all need to remember these aren't trillion dollar companies here. They are bootstrapped projects, with only a few people working on them.

Going forward, I'm around all the time. If you have issues with anything, if you choose to come back, let me know. I'm pretty easy to find on chain :)

Can't change the past, and I hear the frustration you have. But the pieces are being put in place to improve the entire experience for everyone.

avatar

Few weeks... Meaning no one cared until I said something about it.

And yeah I've got my own things going on. What is Leo offering for my effort besides frustration and hoops to endlessly jump through.

What can they do to earn back business of my friends and future customers?

And what kind of new user support and assistance is there?

Seriously this needs to be managed the correct way before selling it as premium... Right?

avatar

Oh no doubt, if you are frustrated, no reason to add to it.

This is what I can tell you. I've been brought on to help the marketing side of things with a big emphasis on the community that LEO has right now.

The people here now, are my main focus. Growth is cool and all, but without taking care of the folks that are currently using this stuff....It's not going to work out.

So my plan is to highlight the community, work with them every day and if there are major issues, I can take them to the top and we can work on them to get fixed.

Only thing I can promise, is that (God willing lol) I'll be here tomorrow and the next and the next and the next....To help the community anyway I can.

avatar

Well by all means please hit me up and let's see if we can take steps to fix and resolve this.

That's actually really excited and very hopeful.

In fact 7 years ago this was all my idea. I should have demanded 1% and credit.

However..I can play and make as.much as I can on the market. We have swaps. Derivative tokens. We got all sorts of things...

It's about how you fix things. Of you got a chance at that let's talk. I'd be happy to change my mind.

avatar

Finally I guess it is a new dawn for the world of crypto

avatar

Good Shows. Lot of interesting question answered. You got task fired up as usual lol. I said this years back, entire steem is resting on splinterlands shoulders for bringing new users. If that game collapses hive price will get hurt. I don't have hopes from 3speak project.

avatar

It's been very clunky lately. I couldn't even upload my video last night, which is why I shared the YouTube link. I really hope things improve there.

avatar

Cryptocurrency is now looking like a new born baby that everyone would love to carry again
That’s fantastic!

avatar

Just keep showing up and build every day!

avatar

The decentralization aspect does seem like a losing thing to promote. I think almost all crypto has that to an extent. I just think that the marketing is kind of tough to get people onto hive or leo.

avatar

Yeah exactly, it doesn't separate us. It just lumps us all into the same category of every other project.

avatar

Yo muero en Hive , algún día seremos la red social más poderá del planeta con un Hive que valga más de 100 $ teter

avatar
(Edited)

It was quite a circus (with Gary as the head clown 🤡) that happened this week. Let’s see what happens now that the ETF narrative is over.

As I see it, this is an alliance with the enemy. Wall Street got it but I wonder what will happen when they have to decide between custody and self-custody, Bank or Bankless .

Let's celebrate today but let's not let our guard down.

avatar

Today ETF investors are getting a great first taste on the volatility of bitcoin lolol

avatar

I strongly believe the bitcoin etf is a good thing for the Crypto space

avatar

This news was very good for the market and after that the market went up and now it is going down so don't worry it will go up again after a little correction.

avatar

It is high time the BTC world profit from that etf
