I hear you bud; been thinking a lot about this lately.

I feel like the path forward is for Bitcoiners is to take their knowledge and understanding into other more organic, preferably meatspace, communities and just spread the adoption of Bitcoin as just better money, nothing more, nothing less.

Because at the end of the day, as great as Bitcoiners are and as fruitful as some of the discussions and software developments are within this community, it's always going to be a circlejerk to a certain degree. It makes me think of the scene from "Idiocracy" where Dax Shepard's character is talking to the Starbucks employee, and they are so delighted at the fact that they both like money (and sex). But of course it is different to an extent, because so much about the cult of Bitcoin forces you to rethink what money is, how it works, how it could be improved, and not just uncritically thirsting for more of the same.

We just need to move beyond this; I'm not sure exactly what it will take, but there's a point where the Bitcoin/money singularity will occur and the world is going to be turned on its head.
