“Everyone’s A Scammer” on vinyl seeks to help support the open source development of Bitcoin and Lightning.
In a partnership with VoltageGuy Swann podcaster and longtime Bitcoiner michael goldstein they have released a fundraising page to raise money for the open source development of Bitcoin and Lightning by selling a vinyl of the historic Bitcoin article “Everyone’s A Scammer”.
He 2014 piece “covers incentives for traders, investment peddlers, hoarders, and bitcoiners alike,” as the crowdfunding page describes. “’Everyone Is A Scammer’ looks at how everyone is driven by their own incentives. There is a war for your bitcoins and willpower is your only defense. There are endless hacks, scams, and thefts surrounding Bitcoin. Brute force cannot take your bitcoin, but through market forces everyone tries to take your bitcoin. Now more than ever this rings true.”
The mockups provided to Bitcoin Magazine feature the original article header image, a still of Clint Eastwood in the legendary 1966 western film, “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” as the focal point of the simplistic cover. Inside the cover, a black vinyl with wax ridges capable of emitting Bitcoin signals, the likes of which only Bitstein can provide, was waiting.
“The Satoshi Nakamoto Institute is eager to share with the world the best past, present, and future ideas in cryptography, distributed networks, economic freedom, and freedom of information,” the crowdfunding page describes. “Their mission is to select the best primary source literature that challenges the status quo through technological innovation.”
