But then there’s no cultural identity, and that makes Larry Fink a bitcoiner… which I disagree with.

I don’t think “uses Bitcoin” as a means to any end, when often those ends conflict, makes someone a bitcoiner.

There was a cultural foot print in the white paper, addressing the root issue, therefore the people who are causing the root issue to deepen, and trying to centralize bitcoin to capture / co-opt / control, cannot be bitcoiners, even though they are using the tool (for evil).

I agree to a certain point. It's a matter of definition.

There are surely groups and sub-groups or branches with different believes. Bitcoin lefties, anarchists, libertarians, right wingers...

At the end you can atomize it to the every individual, whose believes slightly differ.

Sure - but the main group, the parent, was birthed in disdain for centralization and corruption, and solving that root problem. Therefore the parent identity is not just that of usage.

Debating the consequent sub groups is a different conversation than the one I am trying to have.
