Be critical here. What's more likely?:

A) #Bitcoin maxis are all retarded & fiat-educated people are right?

B) Fiat-educated people are all retarded & #BTC maxis are right?

Consider what incentives there are from an educational, systemic & institutional perspective for each. ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™‚๏ธ

Do TradEd systems promote independence? No, they promote conformation. Do they promote critical thinking? No, they promote regurgitation-based programming. Do they promote meritocracy? No they promote elitism & nepotism. Do they promote individualism? No, they promote group-think. Do they promote freedom? No, they promote lifetime subjugation to hierarchy. Do they promote fiscal responsibility? No, they put you in lifetime student debt for the promise of a piece of paper at the end. (This list could go on forever, so I'll just stop here & you can continue if you likeโ€ฆ) ๐Ÿคฎ

Bitcoin education is literally the inverse to fiat education (which is a wonderful byproduct of understanding the network). ๐Ÿค™

So ask yourselfโ€ฆ who REALLY knows more? ๐Ÿ‘€

Homie is just salty because he was led to #Monero / #XMR by his fiat education, so he needs other people to help save his sinking bags. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

All this energy misallocation when all he has to do is learn to invert a fucking fraction (an impossible feat for most fiat brains):

I can't stop wondering why it works so well.

Even people way more intelligent than me have a hard time seeing or accepting it.

I have two points in time I always go back to.

That one 'strange' sociology teacher when I was ~16 years old who told us how loans and mortgages work and how insane that was.

And a few years later during economics where a teacher was encouraging me when I tried to counter every policy of the Keynesian theory, arguing with the exact opposite effect that could happen.

We made a game out of it, and during the examen I answered every question two fold and those were opposite of each other, I got a maximum score.

The financial crisis finally made me conclude every one was 'crazy' and that I wanted out.

#Bitcoin made everything come together and made it possible to step out.

THIS!!! ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™‚๏ธ

I'm TERRIFIED of people that just "fit" into the system because I know for a fact that they have been stripped of every natural human instinct. ๐Ÿค™

Bitcoin maxis are a reactionary cult

just as incapable of critical thinking as MMT dogmatists.

and unfortunately

you prove my point with your technically illiterate and unrepentantly unexamined regurgitation of Saifedean doctrine.

If I may provide a more positive interpretation of your comment: This is a Feature not a Bug. Bitcoin is winning the more Bitcoiners look and sound like the general population.

hard disagree.

the general population are drooling state sycophants.

i mean, you're not wrong.

over the last several years maxis are trending more and more towards drooling state sycophants.

thats really not a good thing for human freedom.

I can see your point under certain conditions. By winning, I mean it becomes a global reserve currency and prevalent as a medium of exchange. For that to happen, it needs to be for everyone, and OGโ€™s like us feel less welcome in bigger future Bitcoin circles.

BUT the lack of self custody by those who have any nexus with Bitcoin is a sorry state. Adoption is more about NgU, to your original point, than about self determination and individual freedom. I am with you on those values and am disappointed how little they seemingly mean for most people, who elect not to use this as an opportunity to voice their shared values because of a little bit of friction in the onramp process.

my thesis is

unless Bitcoiners can scale the values as well,

the network is doomed to regulatory capture.

I really like this.

"your values don't scale"

lowest common denominator ๐Ÿ˜•

If you disagree with me, then fade me in the orderbooks, bitch. ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™‚๏ธ

I'll keep buying #Bitcoin / #BTC & you keep buying your li'l proof-of-poverty tokens. ๐Ÿค

Enjoy watching #Monero / #XMR perpetually trend to zero. ๐Ÿค™

um

dude?

ive been buying BTC since 2015.

and monero is starting to run towards it ATH.

you continue to prove my point.

just another cultist without critical thinking skills.

and?

congratulations i guess.

VCs and degens are gambling on Bitcoin.

Monero bros dgaf.

enjoy your fiat.

fiat charts, fiat thinking.

You are quite easily one of the stupidest people I've ever encountered on the internet. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’โ€โ™‚๏ธ

Your time would be far better spent over on Crypto Twitter with the ACTUAL degen shitcoiner retards. ๐Ÿค™

winning ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Hell if I know. The first other Bitcoiner I had ever met called me a psycho and autist. Maybe everyone is retarded and only some people have self awareness?

The tradfi system is designed to reward those who followed the rules. Itโ€™s by far the best return an individual or a community can get on their money, full stop. Yes it is also designed to instill conformity. It is supposed to make life easy- the payout-to-work ratio for a college grad was traditionally fucking incredible. Imagine earning a shit load of money without having to think too critically. Thinking is really hard! Only a fool would want to HAVE to think hard to earn a better life. The same could be argued for Bitcoiners, too, though: all you have to do is buy more bitcoin. Itโ€™s fucking simple. Where is the reward for thinking, when thinking is a lot of work and the conclusion is always the same: buy more bitcoin.

The act of buying #Bitcoin is indeed simple. ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™‚๏ธ

Understanding WHY you should buy #BTC is where the work/thinking occurs; the time/energy expenditure is front-loaded & you are paid over the course of time for doing that work. ๐Ÿค™
