Bitcoin conference sees public shaming of Bitcoin OG due to altcoin shilling

One of Bitcoin’s earliest supporters and
advocates, Trace Mayer, was recently called out on-stage during a Bitcoin
conference. The footage released after the event shows the so-called Bitcoin
OG, who has recently fallen from grace in the eyes of the community, being
called out for altcoin shilling.

Mayer, who is also a host of a podcast called Bitcoin Knowledge, became a target of every Bitcoin maximalist out there, after shilling a new privacy coin known as Mimblewimble Coin (MWC).

As mentioned, Mayer was among the first ones to start talking about Bitcoin all the way back in 2010. He has been a proponent for a full decade now, but he became known to the world due to the promotion of a yearly event known as proof-of-keys.  His praise of monetary sovereignty and libertarian tendencies made him not only famous but also extremely popular.

However, his reputation was ruined entirely by
the decision to promote a scammy altcoin.

What actually happened?

It all happened last weekend…
