To all the shitheads in Bitcoin, Thank You:
Bitcoin is for everyone, so let’s not forget the shitheads;
those who not only fail to appreciate its importance, but go out of their way to undermine it;
Who not only fail to teach others, but try to mislead them;
Who not only fail to appreciate the equality with which it treats all of us, but who try to claim special status for themselves;
WIthout you, we might grow complacent, our lessons might become dulled, our own egos might become puffed.
But thanks to you and your tireless (but tiresome) attacks, Bitcoin and bitcoiners remain strong, sharp, and ready to spring into action (even if that is steadfast inaction, which you would label as ossified and close-minded).
You wear it well, that head of shit. Rarely do you engage through reason, truth, nuance, or wisdom, nor do you come around after some time admitting your errors. No, you take it on the chin over and over, foregoing friendship, respect, honesty, and many other genuine spiritual rewards, not to mention the high monetary price you often pay if you actually put your money where your mouth is (which few of you actually do).
So thanks to you unsung heroes – the villains – of the bitcoin story and its history. We need you and bitcoin needs you, even though you’re shitheads. Keep doing what you do so well that so many of the rest of us simply will not bring ourselves to do, or even to thank you for.
