This is completely normal, especially during protracted price downturns. Snake oil salesmen come out of the woodwork to advocate for controversial changes, bc they know people who are down will be receptive to the "muh utility makes number go up" narrative. And ofc this riles the OG's up, bc they know that's just a VC grift. And so we mix it up for a little bit. Some people get butthurt and memed.

Interesting… guess I wasn’t expecting it. I thought it would be more let’s keep our heads down and build mentality during this bear market. It’s not a good look lol

Still a fam, but we fight a lot, bc we get very defensive about changes.

Read "The Blocksize War" by Jonathan Bier, if you want an idea of how bad it can get. "Not a good look" is an understandable reaction, but Bitcoin is not an optics-driven marketing effort. Price has gone up and adoption has gone up, even as we have fought. This is just the way it is, and all the mewling about "toxicity" is just noise from people who have spent too much time wearing a suit.

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll have to check it out. This is my first bear market so I’m not used to all the infighting lol but from what I am learning this is normal, so I can roll with that.
