Of the toxic maxi maxims:
  • I least understand anger toward people who haven't yet examined their choices
  • I somewhat understand anger toward people who are wrong or misinformed yet are confident they're right
  • I most understand anger toward people who are consciously misleading and harming people

Shouldn’t we want to discuss alternative ideas (and coins) to argue that we’re right and they’re wrong?
Those of us that want to see bitcoin succeed should be trying to surface the best ideas from anywhere and everywhere. Yet one can safely assume, non-toxically:
  • most coins are scams and/or doomed to fail
  • most improvements to bitcoin are ill-conceived
  • bitcoin's network effect and distribution are not easily reproduced and bitcoin will be the last coin to fail
  • bitcoin is not perfect and might fail to meet our expectations

Yet, the sum of this is what turn some of us to a desperate nihilistic attitude that is considered toxic..

We’d have to define toxic because it means different things to different people.
