Mr. Shamir should dive deeper into his understanding of what a “Bitcoin community” is.

What is your understanding?

There is no broad community, each individual uses it for their own ends.

I agree with that sentiment. There are only individuals making their unique choices and purposeful actions.

The rephrase Shamir even more then:

Every Bitcoiner will have to decide for themselves whether they want to be anarchist rebels or to replace the establishment.

Agreed, and that’s probably why he struggles to identify the motive of the perceived group. There are individuals who fall on both sides of that question.

Bitcoin is money for friends and enemies. Why do we need to agree on anything?

Can we agree to mutual respect for each another?
