Bitcoin is math.
People’s behavior has no impact on its operation.
People are rarely better then their incentives. So what are the incentives of Bitcoiners?
1 stack sats
2 teach people who want to learn
Number 2 fades away after awhile except in rare circumstances, because people are catastrophically stupid. This is most likely as a result of people not being better then their incentives and making assumptions that tomorrow will be like today.
Most of us will tell you to go learn about it yourself. Because we’ve had so many of these conversations that it’s tiresome. When you’ve spent a lot of time being obviously right, it gets old hearing the same wrong arguments. Sometimes it’s even painful to watch someone be wrong. FTX is a good example of that. Any Bitcoiner worth a shit was telling anyone who would listen that shit was a scam. But… we we’re called cult members. So fuck it. We’re in a cult. A cult that is right and doesn’t cut off its own nose to spite its face.
There are people who want to learn about Bitcoin that aren’t argumentative and don’t think they have it all figured out. Our time is best spent there.
If you actually want to learn.
“The Bitcoin Standard” by Saif is good.
