I just feel like by being toxic when they are not ready you can create more resistance

You're very right. I think that it really depends on your skill set and your audience as to what tack you take. Here's my take.

The truth that fiat is dying and Bitcoin is the only life raft is hard to swallow on its own. There's no real nice way to say, "hey everything sucks, buy the orange coin and suffer now to flourish in 5 years." Some people can pull it off better than others. I'm not in that camp.

Being toxic can make it even harder to accept, and it is repellant to some. But in my opinion, it stands as an opposition to the sweet, silver words of scammers. Someone hearing that you can make it with a mix of shitcoins or staking rewards or leveraged options will also hear the insane, mad ravings of toxic maximalists. Most will ignore them and choose the nice option with big payoffs and get rekt, but a few will wonder why there are so many people opposed to it and stay out of trouble.

I'm here for the few that will stop and listen, because I can't compete in the realm of "nice" against fake-smiled, forked-tongue scammers.
