It is a culture that was formed on Twitter. It is a culture that is unique in its entirety to Twitter. You have Bitcoin, and you have Bitcoin related communities on various platforms who may have developed their own customs. "Bitcoin maxi" is nowhere near the right description for this group.

Very true, but It is a well written article that raises good points. I would say, though, that there is more than one "sect", perhaps analogous to Lutheranism and Presbyterian. Nic Carter, one the one hand, embracing altcoins, with the other being the inscriptions/ordinals crowd. Both, in the end, are merely pumping their own bags.

It's everyone outside of bitcoin that thinks those ding dongs are the entire bitcoin community.

The religion thing... its a human being thing, not a bitcoin problem. Nothing is wrong with bitcoin or the "community". A large majority of people turn pretty much anything they get passionate about into a religion. They get their self worth from it. They raise themselves up by comparing to those that aren't in the inside group. The best resource on this is Jesus teachings in the New Testament of the Bible. What is funny is how so many "non-religious" people are religious about things outside of faith. Now, this isn't everyone but it is a large number of people. It only makes sense that bitcoin would foster this. Twitter as well is a great place for this type of behavior.

The religion of "the State" is probably the biggest one people are blind to. Some call it democracy, some call it patriotism, but I call it a religion. I can only really comment on the US but when you take a hard look at what all children are taught by the government schools, our parents, and the media... it is has serious religious undertones. I would argue in the context of Christianity it could be classified as idolatry.

Amen! :) It always surprises me how non-religious people think that they aren't being religious about their various beliefs.

Yep, well we can all be blind. I try to remain vigilant about my own blind spots.

The author should study bitcoin more. This is a good reminder that I also need to study more, rather than think about this foolishness
