WRONG. Most toxic maxis are new bitcoiners that camouflage their insecurity with being toxic.
Old bitcoiners are chill because they know Bitcoin is inevitable, don't need to be toxic since they have logic based arguments and know that calm convincing reaches more people than toxic circlejerkig which only reaches edgelords.
Common parlance is that all maxis are toxic maxis. I believe there is a difference, and rather than recognizing it as an insult its better to to adopt it and redefine it as simply one that believes bitcoin is inevitable over any alt or fiat. This business of alts being immoral, well I'll agree with you there about toxic insecurity. People are going to make the wrong decisions, and some will admit it when they see the light in regard to bitcoin v.s. alts. It takes wisdom, or apathy, to allow people to make mistakes rather than trying to be a white knight and saving them from themselves. Better to be humble in your knowledge than to judge others for their lack of it.

Agreed I'm a maxi (=Bitcoin only) but I'm not toxic (=meet people where they need to be met).

Good to have people like you. Personally, most people that I meet that are into cry-pto have all the information they need but still lick the boot and want those sweet fiat gainz.

Sorry I feel like I'm shilling my own post but look I wrote about this but like from the perspective of someone being toxic to becoming more chill.

I was "chill" and not saying anything from 2012 until 2020. I wasn't active anywhere online, just reading and learning.
But from 2020 I decided to come out and speak loud and fight against the plethora of shitcoins and people defending this disease.
I said, enough is enough, I cannot handle this shit anymore. That's when you became "toxic", when you defend Bitcoin with all you have.

I believe Saylor when he says the 'swarm of hornets' is a feature and not a 'bug'
