The most “toxic” thing about a bitcoin maximalist is the steadfast willingness to say “no.” Having studied monetary theory and history, and having experienced unforgiving market forces, the bitcoiner maintains an understanding of the realities of monetary competition, a recognition of the mission-critical nature of decentralized systems engineering, a focus on solving the most important monetary problems, and a strict avoidance of the inevitable distractions, opportunity costs, and ethical qualms of launching and promoting altcoin projects.
I wish Goldstein still wrote about bitcoin. I feel like decent long form bitcoin writers are shrinking in supply, and bitcoin's cannon is increasingly AI slop, sneaky promotional things, and fast thinking podcasts. (I'm probably just being nostalgic.)

I don't think you are being nostalgic. AI slop is hitting everything and it will hit a peak and I think we will see a revival of real, well done, writing.

This post isn’t from that long ago, and every now and then I still see some relevant content about Bitcoin here. AI stopped being so dumb last year, so maybe we’re just going through a small wave of garbage-generated content that'll fade once these 'sats fishers' realize no one actually cares about that kind of stuff.
I really like Siggy’s posts exactly because they bring a sense of nostalgia — not mine, of course — full of good content. That way, I get a better idea of what things used to be like and what I should expect from this community going forward.
