I appreciate where you’re coming from. There are different segments to FIRE community and yes, some are simply self-interested and just about getting ahead and to that beach life at almost any cost. Same could be said for many groups or movements though. I also think there’s a very sizeable portion of the FIRE community that is composed of people who look at the world we occupy, driven by debt, employment bereft of meaning, and creeping nihilism and are saying “no”, I choose a different path. Influencers pushing FIRE are often looking to monetize that pursuit and we should question incentives…but same could be said for Bitcoin content and influencers. All said, I think the vast majority of Bitcoin and FIRE adherents and content creators are net positives, especially because both are still a relatively small portion of societies at large. Therefore, there’s still a large market to educate and get on board. They’re not simply trying to capture and gain financial benefit from an already captive audience. My two sats on this.
