0 sats \ 2 replies \ @optimism 18h \ parent \ on: Knots doesn't make any sense to me bitcoin
Of course, and that wasn't what I was pointing out. What I'm pointing out is that there's Bitcoiners, and there's another group of people at the bottom half of your meme that do not really share the same values, and the group was named differently too in the meme. If it would have said "Bitcoiners today", I could have replied with the same conclusion; but there are still many Bitcoiners and you'll find them here on SN, every day.
It's just not an apples-to-apples comparison: the 2013 class still exists. I know, because I am 2013 class.
I'd like to ask this... and get a no-BS honest answer.
Where did the cypherpunk people go? Are they just "here" as in on Stacker News?
Did they go to another cryptocurrency? (XMR or something?) Or were there just not that many of them to begin with? Or some left the movement completely?
Nostr doesn't feel cypherpunk to me it feels like marketing. Maybe parts of are punk but it's such an incredibly small community it's a razor-thin area within a subculture.
This doesn't feel like 'adoption' it feels like cope... the dissonance between 'bitcoin is money' and 1 sat/vbyte in my opinion isn't healthy. Thanks
