Agreed, about slaying your heroes. I generally don't have heroes, but there are many people I respect, including Adam.

Also, don't assume the opposing argument is shit. Calling Sats "Bitcoin" has merit, opening up the OP_RETURN has merit.

Just my view on both is to keep them unchanged because those arguments have greater merit.

very diplomatic sir

Perhaps, but understanding and agreeing with the validity of an opposing view often helps you win the argument quicker and easier in my limited experience.

indeed, and yes agree

you also have benefit of sounding much more friendlier too than just calling things shit which is helpful in online forums

ideally everyone forms their own opinions not relying on their heroes to tell them what to think

I dont assume it’s shit, I know it’s shit because i examined the argument and there is no logically valid justification.

playing a woke/gnostic word game thinking it has any essential effect on reality is β€œretarded” in the most precise sense of the word for any rational adult

if it was named bits and matured as bits, i would be on team bits and the sat crowd would be retarded.

this entire issue is just a category error

an IQ test people are taking in public
