There's a difference between using Bitcoin and being in the Bitcoin cult.
Worshipping money is disgusting.
Discussion
I would argue using #Bitcoin or the desire to is more gruesome than Bitcoin 'Cultists'.
I believe the latter are so passionate because if the underlying technology.
Anybody still seeing Bitcoin as money is severely hampered by limited scope perception.
The money element is our tip for pushing the tech forward and closer into the belly of the beast. The tech was disguised as a coin.
Typical cultist word salad
Typical short sighted, obtuse response from a mouth breathing fool with the attention span of a fruit fly.
🥱
So explain Mr. Visionary
why shouldn't people USE bitcoin?
People can do whatever they want with their Bitcoin.
My issue lay with the framework around the O.P.
He's simply misapplied his definitions to the wrong labels.
Ya want to use or spend or can't wait to? No problem. Go ahead. But that seems more in line with the statement: "Money is your God" mantra than a purist who understands why Bitcoin destroys the control structure and its selectively applied nurtured selection processes. Or, as the O.P put it; "Bitcoin Cultists"
As for another post made later in the thread I never addressed; some people are already retired on Bitcoin.
That's all.
Bitcoin doesn't destroy anything you dolt. It's just computers doing calculations. It's only useful as far as it functions as a money. A peer-ro-peer electronic cash system. This new wave of morons like Jason Lowery who claim that it can somehow replace the utility of physical violence completely misunderstand human existence.
yeah "selectively applied nurtured selection processes" is just word salad and not a thing.
and its not what you said in the above reply either.
so nm
They won't learn, they are desperate and pray to governments that their "digital gold" goes up.
Some even see it as a lifetime retirement. It will hurt bigtime when such cases finally understand.
Anyone praying to USE Bitcoin I would argue has carried a degenerative fiat gene into the BTC circle.
Worshipping Money goes way more in hand with people praying to use BTC as money than it does what the O.P called 'Bitcoin Cultists'.
You see it another way, it is you who is short on research.
BTC has a monetary layer. That's not it's point.
I'll add
I like to see number go up in inflation just because it severely damages the nerves of never coiners.
You're barking at the wrong door.
Unlike cultists, I have zero issues in trying out newer technology and decide for myself what brings more benefits.
99% of the maxis and cultists for that government approved old-tech have ZERO notion of the consequences to their privacy or future.
Heck, they don't even understand why we started used cryptocurrencies or why they really matter.
Monero fixes that.
Not sure that a bitcoin cult is an actual thing.
Many people are just really enthusiastic to finally have sound money after getting fucked over by fiat inflation their entire lives. Present company included.
Some people just wanna teenage fangirl and go nuts about bitcoin. Like it is their favorite boy band and everyone needs to hear all about it. That is perfectly fine too.
Then there are Bitcoin hookers are lining up at the stop signs on every social media platform. Convincing everyone to follow them, buy their products, and/or share their affiliate codes related to buying bitcoin. So they can stop sucking actual dick for fiat in real life.
But it "magically fixes everything". No need to build anything, I'll just stack sats and shitpost online. 😅
Worship it, don't worship it, I don't care. Just get rid of the groupthink around what it is, or isn't, can, and can't do.
