This is more of a rant about some person I met a few weeks back. The most hard headed ,closed minded, unwilling to learn, fiat minded bitcoiner iv met so far.
"Bitcoiners are superior to shitcoiners but a bad bitcoiner is worse then a shitcoiner".
  • Mr.M 2023 a.d -
This person push my patients to its outer most limits thank god there was a screen between us or I would have choked a bitch. This was the purest form of toxic bitcoiner but in a bad way,
This is the type of person your trying to teach how to use a hammer the right way but was not having it, the only thing that matters to this person is NGU, paying taxes and taxable events, hodl till the price is right then sell, i don't even know how you end up thinking this as a bitcoiner. I guess its true what the say " the hardest step is to unlearn" but God damn.
The T word belongs in no bitcoiners mouth its disgusting. To top it off this person is a LN hater and denier, does not see the importance of how or why to use sats through lighting. This person is all about hodling and thats it, not trying to stop feeding Fiat energy or giving it a reason to stop existing. Correct me if im wrong here but it seems to me every transaction you make on LN is one less transaction in Fiat thus transfering energy from one thing to a better thing, I dont know I aint no chemist. Even @darthcoin could not save this poor soul ( Darth I know you know who im talking about feel free to express your feelings, don't keep it inside we are in a safe space here)
So moral of this story, 2 out of 3 prefer rice crispys and... stop feeding Fiat.

Most definitely

Yes. They're out there. They generally don't understand that the direction of LN is towards self custody. And that all things that work get built in layers: a planet, a human body, atom, or pizza. They also don't understand decentralized forms of cheap/free energy are what bitcoin naturally seeks. You can argue that already we're seeing this play out in an early way with bitcoin's hashpower at an all-time high even though the price is 70% off its peak. The renewable energy inputs it soaks up are falling and still lack competition from energy storage technologies.
Ask him how bitcoin scales to the speed, cost, and settlement of information that the internet achieved? Then ask him why centralized forms of energy from integrated oil majors and dictators for mining inputs are better than decentralized forms of energy inputs from the sun, wind, geothermal, hydro, and it's nascent storage technologies: chemical batteries, gravity batteries, green hydrogen (via ammonia)? How do energy inputs from captured sources make the network more decentralized? I'm already pleb mining off and on with the sun and batteries, and no connection to the grid.

Yes I remember that discussion. I was really trying to keep calm with that so called bitcoiner. I still think was just a gov sus, infiltrated in the group (there are many, even here on SN). My bulshitometeer is detecting them very easily.
Is really hard to show the right path to these kind of people. Even if is not a gov sus, his brains are fried from intense fiat propaganda.
As I said many times, Bitcoin is not for everybody. Bitcoin is a natural selection. Not for the weak, only the brave.
That guy and others like him (are still many) that ignore LN and says that is not useful, are just idiots that cannot see their future more than 1 day forward.
As I explained him: Bitcoin without LN is NOTHING. LN without BTC is NOTHING. Only together can go forward.

The statue tho💀

Lol, maybe he thinks he holds BTC just for the money, when in reality he's there just for the Fiat... many people don't realize that Fiat will eventually disappear. They try to trade btc, when you just can't trade the most scarce asset humankind has ever had.

The quote on a bad bitcoiner does it for me. It can just be the same as saying of "You can take a horse to the stream to drink water but you can't force it to drink water"
