No. It is a disgusting channel that is filled with white men who seriously advocates for slavery, rape, and frequently makes threats of violence against people who they don't like.

I like #bitcoin-assets! I did some work for MP a while back and the guys there were nothing but nice to me! I'm not sure why someone would want to impersonate me to give the impression that I don't like them, but here's proof I am who I say I am:
