I am so confused. Even for the bitcoin community this chain of thought doesn't make any sense to me.

There have been some very strange posts and drive by "controversies" boosted to the top of stacker news and while the use of SATs is greats... They are strange nevertheless.

Ask @optimism to explain himself then. He says that anyone who doesn't know who "ethan, humpus" are is "either not being honest or having some major brain damage" - #1570158

Imho a bit of gaslighting might be warranted when you have know-it-alls who won't stfu.

If I had a weaker stomach I might have muted @anon earlier, but honestly I might now because otherwise I might kill myself out of boredom.
