  That’s protocol control. I’m asking about economic control. They don’t need to control development, my node, or the miners to matter in a split. Miners will go where the money is. So if Wall Street controls a growing share of the capital, custody, ETFs, and liquidity, and Bitcoin splits, which side gets that money? I’ve been in Bitcoin since 2009. Back then, we had to guess what the damn thing was worth. We’d post on Craigslist and trade BTC for $25 so we could grab a quarter sack, or swap it for PC parts. Trust me, that loyal era of Bitcoiners is gone. When it comes down to it, they’ll go where the money is.

  Six-figure van builds are still hunted down across Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, forums, and Instagram DMs. Built Vandeed: one curated marketplace for conversion-ready rigs. Standardized specs, verified sellers, escrow payments. Live soon.

  @SacAppraiser This is a huge problem in San Diego, every single listing on Craigslist for rentals is a scam. So unfortunate.

  In the same way that Craigslist was a generic solution to the problems better served by more tailored solutions like Airbnb, TaskRabbit, and other marketplaces.

  Every ******* time. I swear Facebook Marketplace needs a special button somewhere between "Message Seller" and "Is This Available?" that simply says: "This has absolutely ****-all to do with me, so I'll keep scrolling." Apparently, however, that level of self-control remains beyond a surprisingly large percentage of the population. I'm currently selling several tactical backpacks, operator attachés and patrol bags. They are brand new, most are still in the original packaging with the tags attached, and I'm selling them for less than their normal retail price. Some of them I originally acquired through BOGO promotions. Others I bought individually. Enter Fucknuts McGinty, Marketplace Economic Correspondent and apparently self-appointed Guardian of Other People's Transactions: "You can get two of them for that price from their website." First of all... No, you ******* can't. The price I'm asking is about $40 LESS than what you'd currently pay for the equivalent purchase. But even if you could, allow me to introduce you to a revolutionary concept apparently absent from whatever remedial economics course you attended: A BOGO promotion does not mean the second item has no value. It means I bought one item at full retail price and received another item as part of the transaction. Now I own both. They're mine. I can keep them. I can give one to a friend. I can donate one to charity. I can fill one with ******* jellybeans and bury it in the garden as a time capsule. Or... And stay with me here because this is where **** gets complicated... I can sell it. What I paid for an item has absolutely ****-all to do with what that item is worth to somebody else. If I buy something for $100 and the store gives me another one as part of a promotion, that does not magically require me to give the second one away. I'm offering someone the opportunity to buy a brand-new item for less than the normal retail price without having to spend the additional money required to qualify for whatever promotion happened to exist when I bought it. Buyer saves money. I recover some money. Everybody involved in the transaction benefits. Nobody is being deceived. Nobody is being ripped off. No laws are being broken. Capitalism continues functioning. The Earth remains in orbit. Civilization somehow survives another ******* day. Which brings me to the part I genuinely don't understand: Why ******** do some people feel compelled to complain about transactions they have absolutely no intention of participating in? Don't like my price? Don't buy it. Think you've found it cheaper somewhere else? Buy it there. Already own seventeen of the ******* things? Congratulations. Keep scrolling. There are literally thousands of other Marketplace listings available for you to look at. Yet somehow there is always that one miserable bastard who apparently cannot make it through his day without finding SOMETHING, somewhere, involving complete strangers, that he can ***** and whine about. The truly remarkable part is that my selling this bag has precisely ZERO effect on his life. I didn't knock on his door. I didn't empty his bank account. I didn't hold his dog hostage until he bought a tactical backpack. I posted an item for sale. That's it. Somebody wants it at my asking price, they buy it. Somebody doesn't want it at my asking price, they don't. This incredibly sophisticated economic system has successfully operated at yard sales, flea markets, gun shows, classified ads, eBay, Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace for ******* decades. Yet apparently we're still struggling with: "If you don't want the ******* thing, don't buy the ******* thing." There. I've just condensed several centuries of free-market economics into twelve words. You're ******* welcome.

  3/N But here's the thing: Craigslist ads get you applicants. They don't get you world-class data. That part comes down to how you treat the people collecting it. My management philosophy is simple: treat people like people. More precisely: - pay people well - make them feel like part of the mission - trust them and believe in their potential

  🧵 the forgotten market the standard pushback on any marketplace founder (few are left) going after horizontal C2C: „it‘s too hard. We looked at this space (and lost a lot of money)“  the core mechanic is trivial:  1. build a a place to buy and sell 2. onboard regular sellers 3. onboard regular buyers 4. match them 5. monetize the network asset  It‘s 2026 and every country has a dominant horizontal marketplace that dates back at least 10-30 yrs Founding dates Desktop era Craigslist: 1995 eBay: 1995 Blocket 🇸🇪: 1996 Ricardo 🇨🇭: 1999 Mercado Libre 🇦🇷: 1999 Gumtree 🇬🇧: 2000 Leboncoin 🇫🇷: 2006 … Mobile era Vinted 🇪🇺: 2008 OfferUp : 2011 Depop: 2011 Carousel 🇸🇬: 2012 Wallapop 🇪🇸: 2013 Facebook Marketplaces: 2016 … Void 2026 Combined valuation of all of them ~$250B I‘ve been trying to find NEW startups over the past year that go after this market and asked investors I talked to if they can point at any. The only one I found that was geared at regular sellers horizontally was tradepost raising $4M last year.  Their last iOS update was 6 months ago and hope that just means a stealth v2 or smth is coming, because it feels strangely lonely.  Like the one lunatic from Switzerland with a tiny team of 2 1/2 and the monetary firepower of a spoon trying to win a ~$250B industry.  $250B only includes what‘s visible: 80% are throwing (un)used goods away or let them depreciate. So why are we/startups are not trying to solve this? It‘s not like it‘s a niche problem or the prize of winning is too small. We now have global solutions for almost anything and our horizontal C2C trade infrastructure is running on Pearl or Java (mostly isolated by country). The UI and UX are like asking kids today to play Command and Conquer and Halo (no, they are not as good as you remember, don‘t try playing them and destroy your awesome memory) there are two camps: a) everyone failed, so it doesn’t work b) verticals win and a newer third one c) agents will replace them I‘m not going to address a) for obvious reasons  b) logical vertical fallacy that consumer convenience revolves around having ten apps to sell or buy something (un)used. c) I see some agent probability for (non-discretionary) B2C and B2B, but C2C would require the 80% offline supply to be online in the first place (which agent is taking the picture?). Automation for regular sellers is still the right move (there is also some element of selling hobby though) But C2C buyers are more like treasure hunters. They love exploring, going to the flea market. It‘s a hobby/passion. Finding that vintage lamp from the 60s for a bargain.  My daughter went happily shopping today and it wasn’t about buying smth specific, it was about the journey much more than the destination. (I personally love discovering and hate shopping btw) We‘re not going to send agents playing beach volleyball and proudly tell our friends we automated leisure.  It‘s why so many of us spend so much time on x, when we could also just ask Claude: „give me cool things to read“.  C2C has this social/culture layer that‘s really hard to capture without a timeline/feed and C2C UI tooling (swipes, taps, maps, connections, etc).  It‘s not as transactional as „how many vitamins does chocolate have?“ We addressed „big market“ and „horizontal UI/UX app layer“  I guess the most important question remains:  Why did nobody solve this yet and users are now even going to private chat groups? The people who tried were beyond smart, well funded (we‘re talking billions that were burnt). Some managed to put a (big) dent in e.g. eBay like Vinted for fashion, but we‘re still ridiculously far away from a Spotify like dominance over the global horizontal C2C app layer. Many failed to win the grand prize. Cold-start funding would be the easy answer (there are many people on earth). This is missing a much bigger issue: we forgot how building C2C works.

  @Pirat_Nation Often the police are useless because they willingly don't deal with theft, even if it's enough value to warrant grand theft. Track down every **** shop, report new sudden amazon/craiglist link, report any businesses buying suspicious bulk of retro products.

  @MAGA_X_Times All of this is totally true. I have had many similar experiences with my ****** @hp printer that I bought 3 years ago. So many issues that I’m now looking on Craigslist for the oldest functioning printer I can find (not an @hp) so I never have another one of these days again.

  My business partner and I built the taco truck from a used food trailer we found on Craigslist, painted it ourselves in his driveway over a weekend, split every cost down to the propane tanks. He called me on a Sunday to say he'd bought a second truck, said it like an update, not a question, said he'd already lined up a new logo and a new name for it, one that didn't include mine anywhere. I asked whose name was on the LLC for the new one. He said just his, said it was "cleaner that way for taxes." I didn't argue on the phone. I went by the commissary kitchen we shared the next morning and looked at the schedule board, saw our regular Thursday spot at the farmers market now listed under the new truck's name, our truck moved to a Tuesday slot near the highway nobody requests. He was there loading ice when I walked in. He said, "I figured you'd rather keep things simple, focus on the original truck, not stretch yourself thin." I told him that wasn't his decision to make for me. He shrugged, said the market coordinators had already approved the swap, nothing to be done about it now. I called the coordinator myself that afternoon, said I had questions about the vendor agreement, asked her to email me a copy of what he'd submitted. It's sitting in my inbox now, unopened, the subject line just "RE: Vendor Info Request." I keep meaning to read it between shifts, and keep finding a reason not to.
