Not the dunk you think it is. I’ve been friendly with people who are described in that quote for years and years.
I was only able to do this by hiding my political leanings to instead focus on Bitcoin. It’s exhausting, and I’m tired of pretending it is not.
lol what the fuck, man?
This is precisely why you don’t see many progressive voices in these internet spaces. Because they are populated with mouth-breathers who think like this.
If you genuinely believe this, then you are trapped in a bubble and need to take a long stare in the mirror to figure out who hoodwinked you.
This entire thread will push away anyone that is politically left leaning.
I know that, because I am that person. We aren’t aliens from another planet, we aren’t unapproachable, we aren’t stupid people, we are just people. I, for one, have not been left leaning my whole life and still have many conservative viewpoints. However, in the USA, the GOP is a clown show who cannot govern. That isn’t an opinion, it is a fact, just look at the house.
Bitcoin is money, and is a-political. What you are hoping to do is gaslight orange pill people because you think your political views are superior and have overlayed them on Bitcoin. You don’t need to. There are perfectly sound cases for Bitcoin along the entire political spectrum.
That said…
Bitcoin does not give a solitary fuck about politics, and the only reason this discussion is even remotely interesting is because there is a internet bubble where Bitcoiners sit around talking about sunning their balls and sucking off Elon Musk while grilling steaks and jerking each other off with their political viewpoints.
Bitcoin is for everyone. Fuck off.
Start9 is best run as the entire OS, which runs on Linux.
You could run a VM on something like proxmox if you wanted to segregate it though.
Coinbase is shit, but there is no reason to gatekeep being a Bitcoiner. I honestly don't even know what makes someone a "bitcoiner" nobody seems to be claiming the title "dollarer".
It's just money, yo.
Ordinals follow the rules of the protocol and thusly it is what it is.
I don't personally know much about them or care.
Nostr is a small window into a very bright future.
