A libertarian does not impose.
455 sats \ 15 comments \ @BTCLNAT 10 Nov bitcoin_beginners
I must confess that I have a tendency to attack shitcoiners. Especially those who try to mix Bitcoin with shitcoins and even more so when they try to deceive the newer ones, because deceiving those who know Bitcoin and still want to be covered in shit is their problem.
Today I was preparing a post where I attacked them for the stupid things they are always publishing on X. But something made me think that doing that would be like wanting them to think like me and I don't see that as very consistent with libertarian thinking, because if I don't want things to be imposed on me I don't have to impose them on others.
Trying to convince a chronic shitcoiner that shitcoins are useless and especially those who make a living by deceiving others, is like throwing pearls before pigs, the only thing they would do is trample those pearls in the mud.
This doesn't mean that if they come to SN to bring their shit, I won't give them what they deserve, this is Bitcoin territory, even if some are entertained by shitty governments. But I am determined not to waste my valuable time on shitty shitcoiners.
I advise you not to waste your time with them either.

This applies to everything, by the same logic. If not teased, it's always constructive to state your stand and the reason behind, and just leave it there, leaving it to Darwin to do its job. If teased, you are entitled to answer in a more defensive manner, but still bearing in mind that at most the constructive outcome will only consist on undecided spectators forming an opinion.
A libertarian do not imposes, but it does defends himself.

I totally agree, especially if they come to try to bring their shit to the sacred land of SN.
In the rest of the scenarios I see, from my perspective, that they don't attack Bitcoiners much, they are focused on playing the stock market with their shit and getting themselves more dirty. Also it seems that they have already understood that with Bitcoin there is no second best, Bitcoin is the best. I appreciate your comment.

Let’s all be glad that there are other chains. Imagine all the noise that would be on Bitcoin otherwise. Think about the other crypto as testnets and you will be chill.

It might be a quiet way to watch them drown in shit, so there's more Bitcoin for us. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Right here you have the great answer to this matter, I feel totally identified with you. Until recently I felt like I needed to evangelize shitcoiners so that they would forget about that nonsense and lean towards Bitcoin, which is where there really is value.
but then I understood that it shouldn't be like that, this is a personal race, literally we are all adrift in the wide ocean and each one must swim or float on their own until they find the life preserver 🛟🍊
Now from a more mature perspective, I'm not looking for anyone to teach or talk to about bitcoin, literally the only one I insist on is my mother.
I am willing to share for free part of what I have learned. Of course I can! As long as that person approaches of their own free will wanting to learn

Now, on the networks, there is no need to try to help them. From time to time, I just show the truth for the new ones. If they get the signal and want to take the orange pill, well, they don't want to, that's their problem. Thanks for sharing with us.

Convincing is not the same as imposing
That being said, it's wise to not waste time persuading the unpersuadable

Thank you for sharing your comment. A friend told me

in my opinion.... why would you even bother to convince them of anything, let them die of "natural causes" and if they wise up (big if) then they will be back asking questions, then you can engage.... otherwise save your sanity...lol To each his own though...

Absolutely. Let Darwin do its job.

It couldn't be better said. As my grandfather used to say
"He who dies for his own sake, death tastes like shit to him"

Right, I would not impose my thoughts on others. Let them do and find out as they may. But, you are correct, a shitcoin is a shitcoin. They all stink, especially the ones designed to make money for the founders, only.

Libertarians deny climate change which imposes considerable consequences on everyone else.
