Been here for a minute myself. This is also critical to keep #bitcoin from being a backwards-looking, doomerist, reactionary anti-fiat movement.

Movements that define themselves in opposition to a thing almost never win and often breed more of the things they claim to oppose…

Thinking a lot recently about how we can articulate and put action towards a cohesive, positive vision of bitcoin as a goal in an of itself.

I used to call myself an anti-Malthusian, for the same reasons I released that it is essential to reframe as a Human Flourish Maxi.

i spoke on this the other day. too many people dont realize they are perpetuating the madness by speaking/raging on and on about the cares of the world.

for example, ive known some "blacks" that build their entire identity being "anti-white". so i ask if there were no "white people" what would you talk about, what would be your motivations? they just look at me unable to reconcile.

i see the same amongst bitcoiners. if there was no central bank or fiat mine, what would you talk about, what would be your motivations? same blank stare... 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

Realtalk. Gets me thinking for whether to continue calling myself a bitcoin maxi or to take up something more like Abundance or Human Flourish Maxi on the whole - because it goes without saying in my mind now that the latter is, necessarily, also the former. However, the reverse is not necessarily true, and presents the pitfall of being an “anti-fiatist” with no coherent or affirmative self-framing or worldview.

If one wants all humans to truly flourish, then one will come to fully realize the necessity of fixing the money.

If one just wants to fix the money the motivation can be something far more banal like their own wealth or because they think it will advantage them to the detriment of those that they don’t like. Lines of thinking that if not deconstructed and reformed just lead to the return of the old system in the clothes of the new system.

i have already made that move myself, bitcoin maximalism is clearly in s stalemate. i didnt just leave xitter because of jack, or its algos but because of the influencers and minions recycling bs talking points and virtue signaling. they've all become grifters worse than shitcoiners. imo 🤷🏾‍♂️
