This is fundamentally a sin of intelectual arrogance imo

Some still don't get what free market looks like.

Some people still thinks they "know better" than others how things need to be. Making claims of how others needs to behave is in no way different to what statis does even if you are a bitcoiner.

The level of self-soveraignty needed is as subjective as the level of education somewoane needs, the level of excercise, etc... if you make a claim about any of this you make a claim implicitly about knowing what other peoples value priorities should look like, exactly the same thing statists does when they take your resources and spend them as they see fit.

Let people make their own mistakes, fail locally and sucess globally (mirroring what works and learing from other mistakes) and if someone doesn't use Bitcoin as you want DEAL WITH IT, that is why is called permissionoes.

intellectual is cannot reach reach masses that why they MAXIS will fail ! bc arrogance

Maxis have a different goal. It’s OK to have standards. Bitcoin is emergent. It is nothing without a network effect - but it is also nothing without standards. Our generation won’t be the one to square this anyhow so we might as well let the intellectuals just flap.

I think Maxis are not arrogant, quite the opposite in fact.

Anyone who went down the rabbitwhole at some point learned that he/she doesnt know everithing, in fact knows very very little about the world and that new way of view things changes you in how you deal with the world and the unknown in general.

I think arrogants will fail

not all buy some for sure !

What do you mean? 🤔

(Oh, got it. Nevermind)

Yes for sure some are, I am to some extent and try not to fall into that. I think is really easy to be like that if you are not actively trying to avoid it.

That being said I really think that with most of the people who are transformed bit bitcoin one characteristic mark is to be at lest a little less arrogant, specially if on their way to maximalism they got rekt by scammers or things like that.

If that doesn't teach some humility I dont know what will lol 🤣
