I believe that Bitcoin is the superior monetary technology, and I don't mind if people know this about me.
The tribalism within the community strikes me as... peculiar. I suppose it evolved partly as a defense mechanism and partly because Bitcoin attracts libertarian outcasts who are happy to finally have a place where they belong, rallying behind a cause that actually has legs.
Personally, I don't really identify with the tribes. In fact, I find many of the most celebrated laser-eyes to be more intolerable than the shitcoiners themselves. The latter are, for the most part, simply gullible, greedy profit-seekers, and are so retarded that I can't even be mad at them. The laser-eyes, on the other hand, exhibit a weird virtue-signaling dynamic where purity is the highest virtue. That's gross and cringe in equal measure.
I simply do not care if user AssBlaster69 blows $100 gambling on HarryPotterObamaSonic10Inu tokens.

Thank goodness somebody said it. The laser-eyes thing is really off-putting and goes against the “stay humble, stack sats” mantra that most of these people espouse.
