I suspect what you say is correct.

I have some empathy for him as I imagine he has been threatened online, probably many times, and understandably blames one or two very influential Bitcoiners for that.

But he appears to want to imply that maxis, or those that promote bitcoin and nothing else, are a generally toxic bunch of overly pious moralizing hypocrites. That, I can’t get on board with.

Bitcoiners are obviously one of the most ethical, principled groups out there.
