I have been running a non-bsv twitter account to get a look at what is out there in crypto world from another side of the Twitter algorithm .

so far my conclusions are-

an astounding number of VC people are looking to throw money at the eth- dominated conventional wisdom in crypto and Daos and stuff. They talk about scaling businesses yet none seem troubled by the inability of the tech to scale. These people are highly educated and well connected, yet are shockingly non technical and not independent thinkers

the coins are full of weak technical people masquerading as experts and have some cred as they were "early" into something.

most of these coin project people seem to be there to draw VC money and become important.

I have only found like 2 or 3 projects that interest me.

Other big coins, ETh especially, have made huge progress in drawing in large numbers of normie creators into nfts in the last few months. I think it's a consequence of all the nouveau-rich money sloshing around Eth and other big coins.

I get the appeal and some reasons for doing giveaways...I do think that they can serve a function in marketing, but I have gotten pretty sick of seeing the massive amounts of people that have accounts (and create several accounts) in order to get half cent pews from people...It looks soo desperate and brings a funky vibe to Bitcoin. I do participate in some things where someone asks for handcash handles, but I have found that it is an extremely inefficient way to earn. It might be a good way to start some people off, but some of these people are out of hand. They see a tweet about an NFT project and drop their relayx handles or some kinda shit when the tweet is obviously in no way trying to do a giveaway. Your post just made me think of this. I am not at all downing you or putting you in that 'beggar' category. I just felt like sharing my overall feelings ab giveaways. And non-BSV giveaways are honestly the worst. I see accounts with huge followings tweet 'who wants 500 bucks?' and a few hundred comments with people talking about their sister's surgery or grandma's funeral or whatever hardship they are facing or are making up for sympathy points. I am not against helping out people in need at all and try to do what I can where I can, but I do not like the groveling that people are getting used to and it just really sits with me in a very bad way. Anyways, def be careful with people who are saying they are doing give aways (there are scams that serve dif purposes). Find a faucet if you need some BSV or honestly...jusst ask for enough BSV to try a few apps out if you are new to it all and haven't figured out how to buy it or earn it efficiently. You can try a lot of things out with a dollar on BSV. You can also gamble the dollar away hoping for a double up and become a groveler. haha. anyways...
