MY $COIN

And so this is crypto…

And this is permissionless piece of cryptoart recording a moment in crypto history, showing support to @coin_artist and basics concepts of crypto.

A company called CoinDeFi has claim trademark over a ticker $COIN and sent their lawyers after @coin_artist and her $COIN https://coinartist.io/

You see coin_artist has a COIN unsurprisingly it’s ticker is $COIN Contract: 0x87b008E57F640D94Ee44Fd893F0323AF933F9195

Andreas M. Antonopoulos sets out what is happening perfectly. He begins “Let's talk about this scummy company @CoinDeFi

Let's discuss the appropriation of public goods from the creative commons of an open source industry. Let's discuss bullying individuals to try to stake ground they don't and can't own.”

A must read thread https://twitter.com/aantonop/status/1341909257227182080

@CoinDeFi claim “Crypto is trying to disrupt finance. We are going to disrupt crypto.” https://twitter.com/CoinDeFi/status/1327653611371982848

So how’s that working out for them?

“Allow me to say, on behalf of the entire open source industry that you are leeching off: FUCK YOU” https://twitter.com/aantonop/status/1341911210988466181

“Trademark bullying of artists fucking scum” https://twitter.com/aantonop/status/1341901488856002560

“Die in a fire, scammers.” https://twitter.com/fluffypony/status/1341830429398212615

“This is absurd. They have a word trademark with a dollar sign symbol in it, not the generic word “coin”, which you cannot trademark. Their trademark protection does not apply to a ticker symbol with the generic word “coin” without the dollar sign symbol in it.” https://twitter.com/RobMcNealy/status/1341905491128012801

“I’m looking for how best to cancel Coin XYZ, Inc. but can't find them anywhere. Patent trolls should go to jail for harassment. Long @coin_artist. Short dirtbags.” https://twitter.com/twobitidiot/status/1341753415026827268

Hey @CoinDeFi, how does it feel to nuke your entire business over some frivolous litigation against a popular artist and contributor? I will personally be making sure nobody I know utilizes any of your products or services for your attacks on @coin_artist,enjoy asshats https://twitter.com/Socal_crypto/status/1341915363789975552

“I’m not touching any of their shit after that. Ever.” https://twitter.com/CryptoMessiah/status/1341915603620212737
