Besides bitcoin. What are the other hills you're willing to die on? What else are you speaking up for unwaveringly?
Is there another avenue of life that you see where "altcoining" leaves one ruined?

Kindness
Being nice is not being kind.
A nice person won't tell you that you have a bugger on your face. They wouldn't want to embarrass you and its easy to say nothing.
A kind person will take you aside and say something like, "you have something on your face".
Kindness is doing what is best for the other person. Being nice is easier. I try to apply this.
The other option is to be a jerk. "Hey, you have crap on your face!" It may be true but it isn't kind or nice. The world would be a better place if we had more kindness, less niceness and a lot less rudeness.
I think differentiating between kindness and niceness like this confuses the point more than defines an outcome. I prefer the understanding “love thy neighbor” as being “truthful, honest and impartial.” Ascribing an ideal emotional outcome on the part of the recipient may always result in a capacity to withhold information; if you make the idea to always avoid possibly inflicting pain on yourself a reality, you could avoid even trying to scratch an itch that might bring immense relief.
Different communication for different people. I've used this example for years and people seem to get it immediately. Could be a cultural thing as to why people get it.
At the root for me its about love. If you care about others you will think of what is best for them and that isn't always comfortable for you or them. When you are a parent you should learn this. You often have to do things your children will not like or appreciate for many years sometimes. Its much more comfortable in the short run to just be a yes man.

+1 on bothDark mode and Topo Chico but what about Fahrenheit do you like more than centigrade?
It's a measure of how hot it is outside from 0-100, Celsius is how hot water is from 0-100. Fahrenheit is a more human scale
it being a more human scale isn't intrinsic. it's purely due to what you're used to using.
I grew up in a Celsius country, and Fahrenheit is totally unintuitive.
Reasons Fahrenheit is better:
If I were to steel man the Celsius scale, I'd say:
I agree on 100 being a more human scale but 32 seems arbitrary. I can’t help but wonder why did Dr. Fahrenheit pick 32 instead of 0 for freezing point of water.
I’m looking for a temp scale that uses 0 as freezing point of water but 100 Fahrenheit because that’s reasonably hot for humans.
Who cares about 32 being the freezing point, how often do you reference it
All the time when I lived in the UK. I constantly had to do conversions.
0° C was cold outside and that made more sense on a human scale but 32° C was like 90° F and that doesn’t make sense on a human scale.
Liberalism
I guess I'm a 'Blue zone' maxi. I've deliberately gone out of my way to find a place where my family has access to clean food, and water.
Environmental issues - I'm a maxi for awareness of the damage invasive species can/will do. Near where I live there are signs up warning of Gold Clam, which is an invasive species that can really fuck shit up here. Can't be complacent about this shit.
Other hills I'm willing to die on: full drug legalization, anti violence - particularly physical violence, and life long, access to free education for all.
Im a maximalist of whatever I'm interested in right now. Always have been.
In the past it's been video games, fitness, nutrition etc, etc. I don't have a setting between high and off.
Quality systems of education, especially in the humanities.
Education is in the midst of complete upheavel, let’s hope it turns out for the better
Merrell Trailglove minimalist shoes.
I've bought something like 20 pairs of them over the years. They wear out fast because they're so thin. But they're so comfortable.
UFO maximalist.
Cars and cities are shitcoins.
You’d like 29 Palms, California.
Quality products at a reasonable price.

Peace (bitcoin is under that broader umbrella).
earth, rocks, minerals - besides climbing rocks, walking on earth barefoot, and drinking mineral water, it wud be a great idea to cook and store food in natural clay pots, so that minerals can seep into the food. i am not a rock maxi yet, but i wish to be one day.
Nice cloths.
I am never going to by synthetic materials.
I love my cotton, wool, and linen.
Same. I started having adverse skin effects from wearing certain synthetics, no more for me

The coffee must be, black, hot, espresso and good. If not, then I refuse to drink it.
Have started roasting my own coffee again- its fun, fresh and saves a bit.
Using a popcorn maker.

Tbh I don’t think I will die - literally or figuratively - even for Bitcoin.
Will probably die for my children if push comes to shove
Like to grow as much of my own food as I can - if there can be such as thing as a food supply autonomy-self sufficiency maximalist?
