How to recognize extremists:

1. They are incapable of/prohibited from questioning their beliefs

2. They will have a significant persecution complex

3. They will view non-members of their group as homogeneous and attempt to dehumanize them

4. They will attempt to tie extremist views to other common sense views such that common sense views become tainted by association over time

5. Will tie 1-4 together into a shared mythology

Be careful out there everyone. When it comes to #bitcoin especially, don’t become the very thing we are trying to defeat.

Always keep an open mind, practice kindness and forgiveness, and leave significant room in your own beliefs for error.

It’s good to defend and even promote your opinions, but bad if you expect others to always agree with you.
