My response was much more heated than warranted and I was onboard with a sensible conversation about it until he added the “edit it from existence” and “perpetuate the myth” as if I owed him something by not trying to twist an aggressively anti-property rights ideology to fit the most fundamentally sound system of digital property ever implemented.
That shit gets to me in a very special way. That said, I’m dumb for taking it personally despite the cheap accusation.
You could read it and give your take to it. Sort of like Moss-Svetski did, just less prep.
Fair…
I can only hope with truth as our base layer for exchange people stop all this tribalist bullshit. We are animals, we are not one thing, we are many things, in many different moments. What we are, who we are, how we act is most often situationally dependent.
As for your response, all the power to you, the shots were cheap, you do you. If the other person wants to do the work, create a following etc, he can create, perpetuate whatever narrative he chooses. That’s your prerogative for doing the work.
Personally I prefer the concept of reaping the seeds one sows, and I like that BTC allows my to store my ‘seeds’ for future exchange. If one wants to reap the seeds that others sow and share those seeds unevenly amongst everyone than the fiat system seems perfect for this purpose.
Nonetheless, I’d like to read the mathematician’s work on BTC being all things to all people ;-)
