I just thought of something a few days ago. Ethereum is not a real currency, it's an attack on our finances and Bitcoin. Likewise the vegan diet is not a real diet, it's an attack on our health and the carnivore diet.

Here's the connection I'm making... When you haven't researched Bitcoin or any of the cryptocurrencies, it all looks too similar. So the uninformed and those who don't care as much believe Bitcoin to be a scam.

When you haven't done your research and you're still on something like the standard American diet, all the diets seem ridiculous. It seems too hardcore to eliminate down. And if you're looking at vegans, you realize that not only is something off about them emotionally but also physically. So you believe that if people do any kind of elimination diet, that must lead to problems. Therefore a "varied and balanced" diet is better, also known as the SAD or "just eating whatever you want to eat." Though there is an advantage to just eating whatever you want which could help lead to a carnivore diet. I digress...

A vegan diet is an elimination diet. You eliminate everything but vegetables. It's an attack on the carnivore diet which is also an elimination diet. The difference is that carnivore is the logical conclusion to the elimination process for the sake of health and the vegan diet is elimination in the name of "compassion, morals, and mother nature."

It's the same sort of attack and it's probably been playing out for longer than Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. It's an absolutely genius attack strategy that is almost guaranteed to fool a great amount of people.

If we're to talk about how people will eventually come around to Bitcoin, I'd suggest to look at the world of diet and ask if everyone eventually comes around to the carnivore diet. It's just not always the case. It's also not so obvious and discernment is tough. People might need more help than they're willing to admit and receive. And that's a struggle whose worth needs to be in constant re-evaluation on a case by case basis. Crazy, right?
