Agreed. I think as early adopters of Bitcoin we have a tendency to experience “Cassandra complex” where we try to help people with our knowledge of future events but they won’t listen. Likewise, no coiners who “know better” attempt to justify their ongoing choice to be a no coiner by propagandizing Bitcoiners and throwing shade at us for our suspect judgment.

This kind of isolation coupled with the kind of success that tends to accompany hodling Bitcoin for a cycle or two does exactly what you said.

I would say that Bitcoin attracts sigma personality types, but, more along the lines of what you said, Sparrow, Bitcoin also forges sigma personalities.

The “have fun staying poor” retort to no coiners is about as sigma of a response as I can think 😆

I had to look up “sigma” personality, but I would say you are right. Perhaps that was part of my transformation with #BTC, is that I had to make a concerted effort to leave the liberal “hippie” mindset behind, and stop glorifying and morally justifying being broke, because it’s not fun, it’s not good for your health and well being, and it’s not taken advantage of the beautiful opportunities this life offers.

And..I had children at a young age. Nothing motivates personal success and sovereignty more than your own family, and a lot of Millennials are missing that part.
