This is really elegant, lovely writing. I dig it.
My conviction on bitcoin itself has not changed, but the community of bitcoiners has me question my judgment from time to time as I've learned about the crunchy bullshit and general buffoonery they're into. Don't worry, it's the usual rich person mix of hedonism and paranoia.
I agree, generally. But I'm also really settling into the idea that there's room to make a different kind of vibe. If you don't want to be a brainless zealot whose zealotry happens to be btc instead of some other dumb-ass thing that you might have attached onto, you don't have to be. Be a different kind of bitcoiner. Talk about different kind of things. Supply creates its own demand, sometimes.
I'll never understand why believing in one fringe thing must mean you believe in all of them.
I've thought about this a bit -- it would be a fun thing to post about. Or for you to :) I agree with @siggy47 in thinking that you should post more.
Who said you have to believe in fringe things? The money is fake The food is poison The addictive drugs are prescribed The government is totalitarian
This is a time for radical change whether you are ready for it or not.
