I've seen the "true Scottsman" argument brought against any and every attempt to claim "Bitcoiner", but I reject it as do many others for a reason I'll try to explain simply.

Imagine if you will a marketeer who claims to be a sports fan because they sell merchandise of a sports team.

"But do you know who the quarterback is?" "Do you watch the game?" "Do you even know what the rules of the game are"

And that's not to say someone who doesn't watch the game, know the quarterback, or even the rules of football can't be a fan of the team.

So why bother with the purity questions?

Because it's a complete social rejection of the idea that a profiteering parasite can be a fan purely because of their profiteering.

Sure, a true Scottsman can run a business, but no true Scotsman is only a Scotsman because they profit off of Scottish people.

In other words, believe in SOMETHING dammit.

Bitcoiners vary wildly in their beliefs. There are true Bitcoiners who I kid you not believe in communism.

But someone to say they're a Bitcoiner purely because they profit from Bitcoin is not a Bitcoiner, but a profiteerer.
