Yep. But then in the real world there is always something that is second best, but not the same!
Which is why I always carry some gold when traveling, its real money here in Asia :-)
But as a phenomenon Bitcoin is of course in a category of itself.

If I ever pivot hard away from Bitcoin its because of people like you...
You know that, don't you?
reply
will gladly take all your sats
reply
No you won't. If and when I sell some it will be to some streetwise kid on the streets here in Asia, or some other place well outside of the collapsing West...
And for conditions like these people have to be super pragmatic and flexible!
I could not care less about what people here think about me, I'm here to provide maybe some takes on reality that works when things get real tough, so I've gotta come back at any monomaniacal content or replies.
Now I've read about your experiences, and respect that a lot, also there is a place for maximalism, the only problem that the real world won't take kindly to super principled stands or stubborn ideas when things get real rough!
That is all...
reply
you do not understand my words... every time you sell sats for worthless gold, I will have more sats than you. So please sell all your sats. I am waiting.
reply
Hehehe, so you think everyone will simply believe your every word because you command people to do so?
Real insanity right there... Lost what respect I had, I think...
Your "mission" does not fit all people in all situations, just you wait and see!
reply
I didn't "command" you anything. I just told you: more sats for me.
reply
Well better check how you get across then!
Initially I blocked you, normally I do not spend much time on people who can't keep more than one idea in their mind, but then I saw your story about the mountains and so on...
That being said the attitude and behaviour of toxic maximalists totally is one of few factors that can really hurt BItcoin!
I'll get around to writing about that at some point later, of course...
