I notice a large segment of bitcoiners that are constantly trying to dunk on literally anybody and everybody, whether it be a mistake / gap in knowledge or a no-coiner learning. This will not help anyone and probably do more harm than good. Who hurt you so badly that you need to act like a child? Be better.
Bitcoiners are people and people are flawed.

Bitcoiners are people and people need to be dunked.

I think its the confidence you get from having found one thing you got right and now a bunch of people rally around that and then treating it like its the world upon high and everyone else is a sinner
Bitcoin attracts all kinds and people are flawed, a lot of people are desperate and need something to hold onto, and Bitcoin has become their religion and their identity
I wouldn't pay too much attention to these people, while they are vocal, they're hardly constructive to talk to and very few of them are going to provide you with much value.

Toxicity is a feature not a bug. If Bitcoin depended on wholesomness of online discussions, it desserves to die. Thankfully it doesnt.

I agree with you. I wouldn't call that segment large. They are just very vocal.

The way people interact with others says more about them than the people they are "dunking" on. I dont think this has anything to do with Bitcoin. Its more of a side effect of social media. Small people try to make themselves look big by being jerks.

Bitcoin attracts a lot of crazy people because Bitcoin is pretty crazy to think about. I have seen some absolute lunatics involved with it. The toxic ones are too exhausting to deal with. If any of them was out there really doing something for Bitcoin they wouldn't be online screaming at people like children. Best to ignore them. They have more time than they do Bitcoin.

It's like a social steel bath - imagine being imprisioned together with DarthCoin for 72 hours... You'll be jumping into the sun as a reborn super libertarian or You'll be buying XRP...
