People often say bitcoiners sound doom and gloom without realising that we’re actually the most optimistic people out there.

I think I’ve realised why this is.

We are very good at describing the problems with the existing financial system. So good that when people listen to us, they realise themselves that things are well and truly fucked and it’s only a matter of time before something happens. As in the financial system has a fit and the people in charge have to change the underlying system to try and maintain the illusion of control (Ie BTFP etc).

The reason bitcoiners are so optimistic in the face of future doom scenarios is because we feel like we have the tool/system which will protect us in the future. Or at least, we have a system where the existing financial problems cannot happen.

The reason no coiners see bitcoiners as doom and gloom is because they don’t understand bitcoin. They hear us spouting the problems with the existing system, but then hear us talk about this magic internet money scam crypto thing, without realising that bitcoiners actually think that bitcoin is the solution. So they hear us talk about the problem, but not the answers.

I, personally, am so optimistic about the future and I know that isn’t out of the ordinary for the bitcoin community.
