Yeah, I agree with this one. First off it sounds delusional. Second it is not something that gives me confidence at all since its easy to become complacent if this is all you hear. I would much rather hear steel man arguments about how it could fail. When I started reading things like that and started thinking about game theories it made me far more bullish. Hearing a bunch of young men full of over-confidence say dumb things with their chests out doesn't do anything for me. I think many bitcoiners are signaling a LACK of confidence when they respond with bravado. They are like a mirror of the tradfi boomers who mock bitcoin. All talk.
It reminds me of Christians that get angry when people ask hard questions. It comes from insecurity. When you know a topic and have conviction in your beliefs you welcome hard questions. You don't fear or resent them. I wish bitcoin had better opponents. People with better arguments about how it could fail, most are really lame and it leads to over-confidence.
