I Now HATE the phrase Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins!

I tweeted out a rant earlier, and I wanted to also share it here. I'm so damn sick of hearing this bit of "wisdom" from anyone and everyone who doesn't have any skin in this game or who seem to use it to appear superior.

In any case, I think that it's a fine way of remembering to be careful with your keys and where you store your tokens, but for the love of Pete, if you have nothing else to add, you shouldn't say it and just be the spectator you really are.

RANT BELOW:

Regarding the #steem #tron debacle. I keep seeing the refrain “not your keys, not your coins” pinging everywhere on Reddit and Twitter and I have to say that at least in this situation that refrain is completely wrong. It’s more than wrong. IT. IS. A. LIE!

While the #NYKNYC is a good device for remembering good security practices, it offers nothing in the way of being helpful and constructive or even empathetic. It’s turned into this callous joke. These people repeat the phrase ad nauseum like #crypto NPC’s who don’t have a shred of empathy or two neurons to rub together. They just repeat it with an air of superiority.

Those ill-utilized #Steem tokens were absolutely their property! The exchanges engaged in a wildly unethical and irresponsible manner.

When you give your money to a bank...

IT. IS. STILL. YOUR. MONEY!

Saying NYKNYC like a robot or a troll is unhelpful and has become an excuse to be not give a shit about the victims of bad actors.

Instead of outrage... NYKNYC.

Instead of empathy... NYKNYC.

Instead of comradry... NYKNYC.

Instead of solutions... NYKNYC.

Instead of finding new services... NYKNYC.

Just fuck off already with NYKNYC garbage.

Stop being a robot.

WHO DIS IS

If you want to know who I am and what Distant Signal is, check this out. It's sort of a manifesto. The TL;DR is that I've won an award for producing, make a lot of reality TV, live in LA and think that artist and media incentives are misaligned and serve large corporations and not independent artists.
