I don't know if it's "good" or some kind of scam, but here's a link

The Bitcoin Academy

Education is power. Shawn "JAY-Z" Carter and Jack Dorsey are funding The Bitcoin Academy, a program for residents of Marcy Houses, in Brooklyn, New York, where Jay grew up.

My bad y'all, I just realized it says: "Exclusively for Marcy Residents". I mean, y'all can probably fake an address though or something if you're really interested.

It’s a damn Ponzi scheme anyway. All crypto is imo. Get in right in time for the rug pull.

Actually during the crypto winter or a down market is the best time to get into crypto and or the stock market. You are then buying shyt at bargain prices instead of all times highs during a bull run. This is where the real money is made.

I don't like that it says "Exclusively for Marcy Residents". If I tried to do something similar like only for _____________, I'd be called out for Racism, Sexism, Classism, etc.

If they only allow Marcy residents to participate then they should just promote it in the lobby.

This is exactly what Bernie Madoff would tell you

No this is what the market has proven over and over and over and over again (especially the stock market which has been around for over 100 years). Buy low and sell high....this ain't rocket science. Buy established blue chip stocks/ETFs/Index Funds (or blue chip Crypto like Bitcoin) when prices are low and then sell high.

Its even why they tell you go in even harder in your 401K and IRA when there is a down market and not to panic and sell your 401K and IRA in a down market.

You buy when there is blood (even your own) in the street. That is how the real money is made in investing in the stock market and crypto.

Also Bernie was a scam artist. Pretending he was investing folks money, but he wasn't investing shyt he was taking folks money and giving it to other folks he had taken money from to invest. Then pretending that money was an actual return on folks money from the stock market. Please don't compare that to opening a brokerage, 401K, IRA account or buying bitcoin and putting it on your hardware wallet (where it is safe and you totally own it).

There are plenty of bitcoin meetups/events happening around the world. No need to fake an address at the Marcy project to attend this one. Lol.

Bitcoiner Events

The magic happens when Bitcoiners come together.

www.bitcoinerevents.com

In Austin TX, there's a pretty big bitcoiner scene. There's a co-working/community event place called The Bitcoin Commons where two bitcoin related shows are aired live every Friday. The shows:

Stacker News (which is like Y Combinator's Hacker News, but for bitcoin related news/discussions)



PBS (Pleb Broadcasting Service). You can sit in as an audience member for this one. Heard they serve free tacos and drinks.

I'd say this is true of, at least, 90% of crypto out there. Shame bitcoin gets lumped in this mess.

^ That site lists the costliest crypto hacks/exploits of all time. You'll see examples that happened on Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Fantom, Binance Smart Chain, Thorchain, Harmony, etc, but you won't find bitcoin in this list. Not saying that bullshyt won't ever happen on bitcoin though. I'm starting to see signs that it's definitely a possibility. Those signs would be the Taro upgrade to bitcoin which, theoretically, allows the use of non-bitcoin stablecoins on the network. Another example is Stacks (STX) which I would call a "bitcoin adjacent" (it's not built on bitcoin though) shytcoin scam, same as the majority of them.

It's hard to make the case for bitcoin to people who live in countries where significant currency value debasement due to high inflation isn't felt the way it is in many developing countries. It's not surprising that bitcoin/crypto usage is highest in countries experiencing really bad inflation, like Nigeria, Argentina, Venezuela, Turkey.
