70 sats \ 2 replies \ @k00b 10 Feb 2023 \ parent \ on: You're afraid of CBDC's because they threaten your stack, NOT because of privacy bitcoin
I had the same problem reading this.
The argument amounted to: CBDCs are good for bitcoin - even if they're morally reprehensible. Instead, the title says bitcoiners believe CBDCs are bad for bitcoin and pretend to have ethical concerns. Basically calling us disingenuous without any evidence for that point.
Weird. Either deliberate or unintentional clickbait.

Do you think most bitcoiners do care tho? It's a fair title in that many bitcoiners have TikTok and use Twitter which are kinda spyware apps where u sell your privacy for cheap digital social inclusion.

There's some LARPing for sure. I don't think twitter evil = CBDC evil, so I wouldn't use that as a LARP detector. I think you can participate on Twitter and be opposed to its business model. In my book at least, you can be an anarchist (in theory) and pay taxes. Most people choose the lesser subjective evil/hell, not the objective one.
The most egregious kind of LARPing I see on Twitter is preaching to the base for engagement farming - not so much defending the price.
