Lol I was just reading that. What a fucking clown that guy has become 🤡
This was a brutal thread. Oof. I really used to dig his takes.
I did too. Two years ago his interviews on Preston Pysh's podcast and WBD helped me become a maxi. He really seemed to get it. I don't even know what he stands for now, it just looks like pointless tribalism.
Agreed. I don’t care about the altcoin stuff he likes, although some of his positions surprised me because of how deep he seemed to understand the BTC technicals, but his seemingly turning anti-BTC is just bizarre.

Ser that’s an insult to clowns!
I posted this earlier after I read it and my goodness has he painted himself in a corner. I generally liked most of his work, but this one felt different. I’m not a maxi with laser eyes but I believe Bitcoin and crypto are like horses and spaceships. Both get you somewhere. But this thread was a terrible take.
False. Nothing to see here.
Wow 😂
So according to him, the time a person joins tweeder is the time they first bought bitcoin.
Some of what he wrote is true, though. There has been a recent surge (since pandemic) of Christian bitcoiners acting like it's the digital equivalent of Jesus. That's not mentally healthy.
And there absolutely has been a lifestyle attached to what a "good bitcoiner" should be like. That persona wasn't around when I bought my first bitcoin in 2015.
Even though I do live that libertarian/ancap, meat eating, etc lifestyle myself lol I must admit Nic is at least right about the religious aspect. OG bitcoiners were just cypherpunks who believed in fiscal sovereignty. There was no doomer mindset of Revelation proportions. There was no Us versus Them. The cypherpunks just wanted to build a more fairer world.
