While I agree with making no-coiners feel more welcome, walk me through your train of thought as to why having any mention of Bitcoin in your profile goes against this goal? As in ‘de-bitcoinifying’ specifically? I do agree with the goal I just think this is a forum to still advertise and promote the use of Bitcoin, perhaps just not the in your face style that many use. Just my opinion, happy to hear your thoughts!
Discussion
It was never the forum to advertise or promote one ideology or another. We kinda kicked the door open and took over. I believe even #[5] expressed concern with this.
It’s not to say that we shouldn’t be here, all things have to start somewhere.
I don’t even know if what I’m doing is helpful in any way, it’s pure speculation. I don’t expect anyone to follow.
If by some chance it helps to have a “normal” looking profile then great!
Can’t you have a ‘normal’ looking profile and still reference your belief in Bitcoin without scaring no-coiners away? That’s my only point
I don’t want to speak for karnage, and he already responded. My train of thought is that normies first thought when seeing laser eyes is the same thoughts they have on twitter - either (1) annoying crypto bro or (2) crypto scammer. I will always promote bitcoin when the time is right, but I’ve learned (even before nostr) that the in your face style rarely works. So i want to change the perception of my online personality to look more like “normal person who advocates for bitcoin” as opposed to “my entire personality is bitcoin”
Yep. Bitcoin doesn’t define me. I’m obviously as orange pilled as they come but I have other things I can talk about.
To be clear I’m in agreement with this. In your face style isn’t for me, I’m a normal person that believes in Bitcoin. So I think we’re saying the same thing, specifically I was referring to the comments around removing every mention of the word Bitcoin from profile. I think there’s a balance
And don’t believe removing any mention of Bitcoin achieves this balance, just my opinion though
