Yeh sure Bitcoin is just Bitcoin and none of the things that you refer to are. They are very nice and important things, they are not bitcoin. What’s also not bitcoin:
- red meat
- guns
- any political view
None of these thing, or the things you mention are either in the Bitcoin protocol or in the white paper.
So let’s stop pretending those kind of things are Bitcoin. They are nice things, not Bitcoin. What do you think?
I get what your saying. I agree that Bitcoin is not red meat, guns, or a political view. I believe it’s the opposite of those things.
What the original post meant to me is Bitcoin is more than number go up technology. It is a take down of the fiat mindset, and I’d define the fiat mindset as the exact opposite of that list.
Yes, none of that is in the white paper. We’ve been able to ponder the importance of Bitcoin for over a decade, and we know that p2p will have more of a benefit than what the white paper states. We are extrapolating on Satoshi’s idea.
Bitcoin represents taking care of self, and helping create a better life for others. Fiat mindset is selfish, it’s violence to the body and to the world, it is oppressive. It is guns, red meat, and politics.
Now, I get that some hold Bitcoin to trade back to fiat when it increases in value. However, I think that is a mistake and there is something larger at play.
