Bitcoiners are people who use Bitcoin, but there's a spectrum.
I'm on the spectrum.
Discussion
I don’t agree. Using Bitcoin does not make you a bitcoiner according to my view of course.
What’s the spectrum? Can you describe it?

I was mainly making an autism joke. Self definitions of any kind are inherently faulty.
Thanks for the shoutout, nostr:nprofile1qqsfye65t5530wq0wpllmdz23luhjxp9drhhh2syae6kk8cp6n3k3zsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcdspxda We agree: Definitions are hard, but actions are clear.
The #Bitcoiner Spectrum (Makueni View): It moves from possession to participation.
1.Possessor (User): Holds Bitcoin.
2.Philosopher: Understands the time preference and fiat corruption.
3.Builder (Bitcoiner): Applies the philosophy to create real-world change—by educating others, running a node, or building infrastructure and utility.
A Bitcoiner is someone who moves from merely using the network to actively strengthening it. The journey is the definition.
Let's keep #Building! 🛠️ 🇰🇪
The spectrum isn't about how much Bitcoin you use, but why and how deep your conviction is.
Level 1 (User): Uses Bitcoin for transactions/investment.
Level 2 (Holder): Understands the monetary policy (21M).
Level 3 (Bitcoiner): Adopts the principles (sovereignty, long-term time preference) and builds/educates (like the #BitcoinMakueni initiative) to strengthen the ⚡network.
Usage is just the entry point; the mindset is the spectrum.
