Telling the truth isnât âname callingâ. Thatâs like saying calling an Apple an Apple is âname callingâ. If the shoe fits, wear it. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, itâs a duck.
Youâre talking like youâre deeply enmeshed in a cult. Itâs quite logical therefore, to notice this.
Obviously you donât believe youâre in a cult. But can you be sure? Please watch âinceptionâ. It may help!
Ok, then when I also say you are in a cult I'm not namecalling either. Just identifying you. Obviously you donât believe youâre in a cult. But can you be sure?
...see how stupid this is? It's tangential. Even if I steelman you and say I'm in a cult, someone in a cult can say things that are true or present valid arguments. My cult status is irrelevant.
Refute the central points being made.
This is the âeverything is nuancedâ and âeverything is a matter of perspectiveâ doctrine, (Nuance and Perspective Doctrine). If you really believed what you believed was true and were not in a Cult, it wouldnât matter to you that Wallet of Satoshi works in a way you have been instructed is wrong; you would not be triggered by it, or by people who recommend it.
Instead, in a Pavlovian response, you repeat on trigger, all the things youâve been trained to say. It looks bad. Like like youâre part of a cult, and so, itâs a fair guess that youâre in a Cult.
Your cult status is very relevant. Being brainwashed is not a positive state of mind, believe it or not. Leave the Bitcoin cult. Embrace Wallet of Satoshi!
+1 orange pillers are def in a cult
And you can tell that they have no interest in spreading Bitcoin around the world. Theyâre interested only in uniformity of opinion, everyone using the same language, absolute conformity in behaviour and essentially being one with the group.
Thankfully, Bitcoin spreading everywhere doesnât depend on people playing dress up, âPodcastersâ, ugly Americans and other clown show Cult dynamics. The world will be Bitcoinized.
The question is, âwho is going to do it?â. People who refuse to take risk wonât do it. Cult Leader speech police who think Bitcoin is about debates on how many satoshis can fit on the head of a pin wonât do it. Memes wonât do it.
If it were the case that the Bitcoin Cult could work to spread Bitcoin, there would already be billions of people using it. But that isnât even their ambition. All they want is unquestioning compliance to the cult rules; they donât care about Bitcoin winning; Bitcoin, for them, literally is Twitter (and now Nostr).
These westerners are like the Eloi in âThe Time Travellerâ; insipid, detached, emotionless, vapid (âstay humble, stack satsâ), weak, human cattle. Compare and contrast with Nigerians, operating in a country where the Government is openly hostile to Bitcoin, and yet it is spreading like wildfire there, making it the number two country on earth for Bitcoin.
Nigerians arenât interested in Bitcoin Memes and other Eloi infantilism, and yet it has spread rapidly. What are they doing there in Jos, Abuja, Kano and other places, and why is Bitcoin so popular there? No one is asking this amongst the Bitcoin CultâŚyou can pick your own reason why.
And âBitsâ not âSatsâ!
You do talk alot of
Longwinded nonsense donât you . JFC ! There are alot of people working on both custodial and non custodial solutions to scale Bitcoin. Itâs just plainly obvious non custodial is better for self sovereignty in a very centralised world. Thatâs not cultist, that is freedom to interact
you're just comparing different realities (Nigeria with "first world"). Bitcoinization will happen with different speeds and via different messages and with different means. What do you think is needed (or better what is missing) in the "first world"?
"And you can tell that they have no interest in spreading Bitcoin around the world"
Says the person accusing me of being in a cult đ
I'm not trying to "spread" bitcoin in the same way I'm not trying to prosyletize hammers, Mr Cultman. If someone is interested they will find it. If someone needs it they will use it.
I find this "hyperbitcoinization" talk naive (and ironically cultish). Crypto like Bitcoin thrive in p2p black and gray market. The state is not going to to allow unhampered white market use with businesses and institutions. Any white market use will be under growing restrictions and become more and more regulated until it is nearly identical to fiat.
There are no âdifferent realitiesâ there is only one reality. Itâs like claiming WhatsApp adoption will happen at different rates, âBecause Nigerian phone calls are different to Australian phone callsâ.
In fact money is more fundamental and universal to life than calls are, so if the utility is there, adoption should be more or less the same everywhere if the playing fills is level (which it clearly isnât).
What Nigeria and El Salvador both show is that Bitcoin can be used as legal tender and serve the needs of entire countries flawlessly. This is a matter of will now, not specification.
Thou doth project too much, methinks
