Some of what he wrote is true, though. There has been a recent surge (since pandemic) of Christian bitcoiners acting like it's the digital equivalent of Jesus. That's not mentally healthy.

And there absolutely has been a lifestyle attached to what a "good bitcoiner" should be like. That persona wasn't around when I bought my first bitcoin in 2015.

Even though I do live that libertarian/ancap, meat eating, etc lifestyle myself lol I must admit Nic is at least right about the religious aspect. OG bitcoiners were just cypherpunks who believed in fiscal sovereignty. There was no doomer mindset of Revelation proportions. There was no Us versus Them. The cypherpunks just wanted to build a more fairer world.
