Anthony “Pomp” Pompliano is a Bitcoin podcaster whose sponsorship reads are canonically understood on Bitcoin Twitter as a reliable inverse indicator: whatever Pomp advertises, one should not use.

Arc history

In January 2023, after backlash for accepting sponsorships from multiple companies that were simultaneously filing bankruptcy and misleading customers, Pompliano announced he would stop accepting sponsors altogether. Bitcoin Twitter immediately reversed course and demanded the ads back — Cory Klippsten praised his “very good track record of supporting products that guarantee you to lose money,” and a petition to resume sponsorships collected over 20,000 signatures. Pompliano did not respond publicly; a source close to him reported he was struggling with the fact that every available path forward led to backlash (Members Of Bitcoin Twitter Urge Pomp To Resume Sponsorships).

irl: The real Anthony Pompliano promoted BlockFi and other lenders that collapsed in 2022, which is the entire joke.
