Ceding the moral high ground by aiding the state's murder campaigns just so you can acquire bitcoin is losing the plot. Better to shitcoin for more sats if you're breaching ethics.

How is that different from people who are against guns for individuals because criminals use guns? I make strong/er materials, sir, even more basic of a building block than the firearm, a tool sold by manufacturers to law enforcement and militaries, not just individuals.

Shitcoins actively are damaging and suppress adoption through slander, libel, and confusion (the ten commandments also put theft on the same level as murder). There is an argument to be made that nothing exists in this world is as unethical as shitcoinery, all higher order effects considered. Bitcoin is the tip of the spear for all that is good, so all that blunts it is the greatest trespass to life there can be.

Doing nothing to advance the state of the world would be a sort of suicide for me, and I am not so athletic that my pursuits as a climber or mountain biker would be of any use, and I will not commit suicide in protest. Nor am I wealthy enough to pursue a mediocre life of hedonism as many bitcoiners capitulate into (wealth at the consumption scale, but not yet on the shaping the capabilities of civilization scale).
