I don't know what this means, but I'm simply enforcing consistency between my long held principles of freedom and free thinking. I'm not in any church, nor have I initiated into any collectivist group think. I'm merely not willing to waste my time arguing bullshit that isnt going to help me or anyone else. Too many people have turned technology into a religion. I adopt what I believe is the best for me. I expect others to do the same out of self-interest. I see no reason to kill each other for agreeing on 90% of principles, especially when the 10% is totally voluntary (you use a tool, I don't have to). It makes no sense for such a small movement.

Sorry if I'm way off base on your meaning here. I'm not up to date on all the memes

its just me being silly

Sometimes I put it like "everything is Bitcoin"

some people say "Monero is a L2"

these things are *Isomorphic*

they can be used in place of each other and exchanged with little friction.

I think we need a new anti-maxi movement that emphasizes the *Isomorphic* properties of non-custodial decentralized crypto currencies.

Everything is Bitcoin.

The problem with terms like "maxi" is the meaning often gets lost, if it's ever properly defined.

I consider myself a Bitcoin maxi, but that doesn't mean I want to spend my energy using ad homs and bad faith tactics against people who use other tools. I don't have a problem with good faith debate and well thought out philosophical reasoning. But I rarely see that when it comes to this issue.

I don't believe everything is Bitcoin in any sense, but I do see your point that people can and do build easy to use tools for moving between the different tools. I just don't see the need to try and force these issues into a camp. Ultimately, people will use the tools that best meets their needs in their context. USD tokens (stable coins) are a good example. I can understand why an unbanked person in less developed nations would desire those. I can handle the Bitcoin volatility and I have access to dollars already.

The purity tests are what I'm tired of and see little value in. We should debate, but in good faith and with consideration for the differing needs of others. I've failed at this a lot up to this point, to be clear. Most of the things I post on Nostr are notes to myself first.

Well said. The longer i am in bitcoin the less "maxi" i get.

Nevertheless premine and pos is real and it is unethical.

There are great projects in other cryptos.

The problem is dogma.

I speak with bitcoiners blindly calling everything scam and stupid.

On the other hand, if you have no clue, stick with bitcoin.

We should be mostly behaving like bitcoin maxis in our choices. That does not mean their religion is true.
