Bitcoin is neutral, the people around it who interact with each other is a community (even if only a small part of the bitcoin user base). That community has norms, and like it or not that community led to lots of destruction of Bitcoin’s potential over the years.
Discussion
Single community implies eveyone has to adhere to the same presences. Bitcoin provides the means for the opposite of that.
Start your own tribe/community with your preferences.
Trying to force everyone to adhere to the same things is where most of the friction comes from.
Nah, I’m not naive enough to think I can force anything. I’m just suggesting (a) it would have been nice had there been more responses of “nah lol” to garbage takes that drove good people away and (b) happy that many of the garbage takes and “bitcoin puritans” seem to be slowly going away, at least in part because the platform doesn’t as much encourage such nonsense.
Suggestions won’t change anything. Build the community you want to see, ignore the other the one you don’t like. Bitcoin is the first system that allows both to trade with each-other peacefully.
That’s great in theory, and honestly I’m only here because of that, but, again, lots of people don’t, and when there’s things like soft forks being proposed you can’t - the bitcoin user base has to agree. That drove good people away, just telling them “ignore Twitter” isn’t helpful when they’re getting harassed everywhere.
Thank you for the discussion đź«‚
At this point, everyone involved in Bitcoin is or has been accused of "destroying Bitcoin's potential". It's basically a meme.
