> maximalist view on Bitcoin from a predominantly technical perspective.

I am an economist by education. But an IT-ist by passion and 25 yrs experience.
I saw Bitcoin as an escape valve from the slavery system (banking and political) just after I read the BTC whitepaper. And that is because I read it and understand it from the 1st moment getting in touch with Bitcoin.

I do not know how to write code, I do not have to know that to understand how Bitcoin works.

 understand the code too often equate that to understanding Bitcoin... They see it through the lens of a technical thing, which it isn't, and thus shitcoins and all the dumb shit that's turned Core into soft-target for attacks.

I actually think it's impossible to have a maximalist view on Bitcoin from a predominantly technical perspective.

People who *do* understand the code too often equate that to understanding Bitcoin... They see it through the lens of a technical thing, which it isn't, and thus shitcoins and all the dumb shit that's turned Core into soft-target for attacks.
