deluded bitcoin maxis going all "uhh normies hate us because shitcoins make us look bad, bitcoin's not crypto, I'm one of the good ones, I have sex with my dog"

normies hate you because NGU behavior is repellent (this part is completely your fault) and because you're not decorating your personality with milquetoast socialism (this part isn't your fault). you could erase all the altcoins from history and they'd hate you all the same. and in case you were finished masturbating, scammers can and do use bitcoin and they'd all be using that instead if it fucking worked right.

I don’t have a dog to have sex with, and understand that NGU thinking is short-sighted. BTC is not uniquely suited to scammers, much more illicit and violent behavior occurs in the name of the dollar. Where BTC allows avoidance of KYC via p2p transactions, XMR goes further to provide anyonymity, and that same anonymity is a defense against state tyranny in other scenarios. I’m all for checking maximalism where warranted, but I don’t find the “scammers use it” argument compelling.

Wait what's that about your dog?

You can't scam with bitcoin. Also NGU bitcoiners are annoying, I agree, but that is not core to bitcoin, which is cypherpunk at heart.

What kind of scam can you do with bitcoin? You can't premine it and dump it on the public, for example. Provide a scam that you can do with bitcoin.
