What is based?

41 sats \ 11 replies \ @BitcoinPilgrim 20 Oct

Based refers that which is well founded usually in principal, social relation, emotion, or mind.

A child can be considered based if he or she doesn't have social anxiety or isn't affected by emotional or social pressures and are set out in the right direction, most likely having been raised and strengthened by good parents.

Bitcoin is based. Satoshi Nakamoto did a wonderful thing; setting Bitcoin on the foundation of freedom, self-control, value and wealth, ethics, honesty, unity, decentralization, simplicity; and even without corruption.

So is it like being able to see that which is true for oneself with out the social conditioning?

Yeah you can go with that I guess.

'Having descretion by sight or by living/deportment. Unwavering.' (As refering to a human being)

I definitely understand it better than I did. Is it a term people find triggering?

11 sats \ 5 replies \ @BitcoinPilgrim 20 Oct

Speaking from my view: it doesn't trigger. It's used in the context of tension between based as opposed to corrupt. 🤔

I see the the term used in comments on Youtube. Usually the video recorded something contensious and the commentors siding with the "based" one.

How often do those who are corrupt have conscious awareness of such.

Good question! I'm afraid I don't have the answer to that! I wonder about it so much myself. Can one who is not a villan put himself in the mind of a villan? Truth wins in the end, though it may be after a bruise to humility, which in turn, rendered itself exalted.

I think maybe we have to experience pain to get to truth.

I struggle with the definition of the word too. Maybe it's our age? 😀

I'm 13 years old. Maybe I'm too young.

I haven't looked into it at all. But I have seen it around. I'm dead serious that I have no idea what it is. Instead of looking it up I want to hear from stackers.
