84 sats \ 24 replies \ @NovaRift 29 Dec 2024 \ on: Bitcoin toxic maximalism as a manifestation of a high time preference? bitcoin
I know a person who is a relative of my family. He owns 20 whole Bitcoins and is too much arrogant. I tried asking him a lot of times how to start, but he gets annoyed and angry just by asking simple questions. If anyone asks anything regarding Bitcoin, he just shamelessly says, "You don’t even deserve to own it." He never taught us anyone anything. That’s why I started searching online and found this site. I made a promise to myself that from 2025, I will try to own as many Satoshis as I can. I don’t know what a toxic Bitcoin maximalist is—I need to look it up. And by orange pilling, do you mean introducing people to Bitcoin? Like in The Matrix? Or something else? But yeah, rudeness in general is not a very good thing; people tend to back off. Sweetness and Kindness is a special gift.
You don’t even deserve to own it." He never taught us anyone anything.
Maybe he sees you as a statist normie democracy cuck, if that's the case then he is right. Bitcoin is not for everyone.
reply
see that's not an example of 'toxic maximalism'.
what you demonstrated that's the example of being an asshole. there is a huge difference
reply
No, he's right.
When you are for long time in bitcoinlandia and all those years you tried to explain bitcoin to all people around you but they simply ignore and laugh at you, you became more and more toxic... until you reach that level when you just say "I told you so"...
Why for me took just 5 min to realize that Bitcoin is the salvation and for other took 15 fucking years to just start asking questions about Bitcoin?
15 years not 15 days ! Even if you dedicate just 1h / month and you still learn something about Bitcoin. But nooo, 15 years ignoring it.
reply
Most people still ignore it. But I believe that everyone will get it eventually...
It's still around 1995-1996

What kind of language is that? Are you from Twitter or Reddit? For your information, he sold his Bitcoins for currency time to time when needed. And Bitcoin is for everyone.
reply
he sold his Bitcoins for currency
LOL so is a fiat maxi in the end, not a bitcoin maxi.
A bitcoin maxi will never sell for fiat his BTC

Yes, right. To be honest, after reading your guides, I got the point of view that we should not sell our Satoshis. I like the thought. If it worked, governments would be on their knees. Bitcoin works as a power ducker from these governments. I never thought of that before. I thought activists and journalists would help fight all this, but Nakamoto already gave us this before. We're just recognizing it now. Do you live completely in bitcoins?
reply
Yes, from 2018. No more fiat.
You don't have to sell your sats to be able to live... Just find your own way to pay directly in sats the merchants around you.
We need to achieve that bitcoin circular economy: #576140
And we will never achieve it if will sell back for fiat your sats.
reply
Just amazing. Never thought this type of existence would be possible too.

When you will finish to read all my guides, you will be like...

A whole new world will open to you.
I am changing my thoughts a lot by reading them. I want to thank you for the great hard work you did for us, and that too for free, not even a single sat. Your '21 reasons bitcoin will save the world' will be known as the '21 commandments of Darth' in the future if people change.
Why would i use shitcoiner social media
reply
This is not the kind of behaviour anyone should have for relatives, regardless of having bitcoin too
reply
He's like this to everyone not just me. He doesn't want to talk about it simple rule 😂.
reply
You’ve got it right about the orange pill.
I expect that you’ll find stackers to be more helpful than your relative.
reply
Thank you. I saw it yesterday. People are too willing to help here. I am blessed to find Stacker News.
Regarding my relative, I think anyone who gets super wealthy would behave like this, but teaching someone doesn't even cost him anything. I think he wants to own all Bitcoins and doesn't want to leave anything for us 😂.
reply
Well, Darth has been stacking for a long time, and must have a substantial stack, but he's still very generous with his time and knowledge.
reply
I see he wrote in his guides about his general mission to help humanity. He will be remembered for his contributions. Just reading by his guides, I have changed a lot of my views. The first is not to sell Bitcoins for currency; instead, try to make an economy where we all exchange Bitcoins as payment. I like this idea very much.
reply
is his name uncle Darthcoin lol?
reply
No. You didn't read it. It's that my relative does have a lot of Bitcoins but is not willing to teach anyone about it.
reply
outside of bitcoin, does he have a difficult personality?
reply
The drawdowns probably don't hurt him, so it must be something else.
Still, it sounds like a sign of a high time preference. For example, he could explore where where his attitude comes from, perhaps through therapy. But it's easier to be toxic.
