I have learned during my time on Stacker News that it is sometimes difficult to understand @DarthCoin when he responds to a post. This is a shame, since he writes great guides, is an OG bitcoiner, and is a good source of knowledge. Therefore, I have created a little translation guide of my own to assist those having difficulty understanding him :

If @DarthCoin says:

“You are a fucking moron.”

What He Means:

“I think perhaps with regard to this particular issue you are mistaken.”

If @DarthCoin says:

“You are a fucking shitcoiner.”

What He Means:

“Good sir, I think that at this point you really don’t perceive the differences between bitcoin and the coins that were created after bitcoin through a centralized, pre-mine process”

If @DarthCoin says:

“Fuck the Banks and Govs”

What He Means:

“I believe that switching to a bitcoin economy obviates the need for financial institutions and will increase self autonomy.”

If @DarthCoin says:

“I don’t give a shit about the price.”

What He Means:

“It is unnecessary to focus on the day to day gyrations of the value of bitcoin as expressed in US dollar terms.”

If @DarthCoin says:

“People are retarded.”

What He Means is:

“There are many folks who don’t have the intellectual capacity or desire to learn about bitcoin.”

I welcome additions, corrections and suggestions to improve this guide.

Yes, indeed I do not like to "kiss ass" of anybody with nice kind words. If they do not like "my style" of saying things directly, I don't fucking care. Is their problem not mine.

Translation: "Indeed, my comments can be brusque at times. However, consider that time is fleeting, Bitcoin is scarce and if you can't understand that then eat shit, fucktards!"
Did I do it right?
reply
I shall consider inclusion of your suggestion for publication in the second edition of the guide.

stackers have outlawed this. turn on wild west mode in your /settings to see outlawed content.
Yea... or you know... Some people just enjoy being assholes for no reason.
Not sugar coating things is different. You can be blunt and straightforward and disregard pleasantries, I'd respect that, no time for bullshit, by all means.
DarthCoin takes pleasure in being an insufferable prick. It's pretty obvious.
There are faster, more effective and efficient ways to get most of his points accross. He goes out of his way to be extra unpleasant, expending the same amount of mental energy that a sugar coater would but in the opposite direction.
For example, from your translator:
When DarthCoin says "you're a fucking moron" You think he means “I think perhaps with regard to this particular issue you are mistaken.” But what he really means is "you're wrong" 2 words. And for someone who truly doesn't mince words, that's 2 too many. Someone who is trying to not waste time explaining things to people who will never get it doesn't waste time insulting them either. The only reason to say this is as an effort to inflict some kind of pain on your interlocutor. Which means he is going out of his way to be an ass.
DarthCoin is truly a poppy face, there's no two ways about it.

Yes, I will always be "an asshole" with shitcoiners, bitcoin haters and dumb people. They deserve it.

Your words say more about you than about them

Lol solid translations, mans guides are solid work through, helped me a bunch, what ruubs me the wrong way are people with darths attitude but don't know dick lol if you're going to be a dick, at least back it up with hard facts and hard work
reply
When will @DarthCoin join nostr? Its a little too velvet gloved over there, it needs a healthy dose of intolerance
reply
I am on nostr. Posting memes
reply
Neither skill, merit, nor power gives anyone a pass for treating others like shit.
reply
I see it like that: Every time @DarthCoin does not treat you like trash you can be proud of yourself lol
reply
If you are against Bitcoin, you are against freedom. And that makes you my enemy. I have no remorse for shitcoiners, bitcoin haters and statists. https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/darthcoin-enemies

Replied to wrong comment?
reply
What about anonymity and a censorship resistant platform?
reply
Only truly virtuous people treat others well even if they are completely anonymous, facing no real repercussions for their bad behaviour.

You still have to learn something from Bitcoin world:

somebody that will not kiss your ass with nice fancy words, will never scam you...

Just think about that.
reply
You’re a poet
reply
feigned moral supremacy is a poor excuse to prop your own offendedness up...
grow up its not a game we are playing here.

I think it is important to take three pills before joining a thread online in NOSTR, Telegram Group, or Twitter, pill #1 Orange #2 Chill #3 Patience. Then you end up learning a lot. I do this myself ;-)

Thank you @siggy47 . I have felt at odds with Darth and I don't want anything but peace in my life. This guide helps. I think him and I are 2 sides of the same coin. All is valid and good for the space different ways.
reply
My own guide: @Darthshitcoiner is just an asshole and a faceless online bully and a coward. He deserves no other explanation or credit.
reply
every stacker will need a translation guide in form of many posts, until we all speak in the same frequency (some call it love & care, others 528 Hz, etc.). it's strange to call @darthcoin manner of posting the language of love, but that's what he is trying to do, lol
reply
Haha this is great!

who let their mother in here ?

Made my day 🤣

I needed this post. Thank you. Love you @DarthCoin.
reply
you know you are late to btc when "palletable translations" are required for the herd to feel unoffended and safe in their brave new "uncensorable" reddit...
meet the new boss...
reply
Thanks for this I have had my agreements and disagreements with Darth but overall I respect his passion and his dedication to rid this world of Fiat living.
reply
Ahah hilarious 🤣
reply
Is this more useful than my "shitcoin"?
reply
Nice one. At times @DarthCoin is a bit dillusional in his ideology, but funny to read his insults nevertheless. Keep up the good work.
reply
What if @DarthCoin says: "Muun is trash."
reply
Let me run that through the translator. Hmmm. It means that Muun is not really a lightning wallet, and is clogging up the base layer with tiny transactions for which the unaware newbie may pay a hefty fee.
reply
Nooo .. I changed BlueWallet for Muun. What do you recommend me?
reply
ignore this guy, just use what is useful for you. This is why bitcoin community is getting really fucked up. a bunch of guys recommending complicated wallets that at the end will push a lot of people to use custodial solutions and get rug pulled. Muun, phoenix, breez, electrum, blixt. just use non custodial. recommend only non custodial. have fun.
reply
Ask @DarthCoin. What do I know? I'm just a translator.
