Junseth I think coined the term bitcoin maxi as a joke, and it caught on like the proud boys did. It's a disingenuous mind virus.
I went to my first bitcoin meetup recently (well, my 1st one AFTER understanding bitcoin and getting off of zero!) and I felt for the first time in my life "these are my people, they get me".
Imagine how those people smuggling printing presses all around Europe must have felt. "you dirty laity-class knowledge maximalists, you don't deserve all this knowledge"
Welcome to the new church. Sit down and enjoy that peace and calmness. This church that isn't defined by an imposing cathedral, but by knowledge inscribed on our hearts among us dirty, unwashed heathens, shtetls, and bumpkins.
i thought it came from this Vitalik blog back in 2014, but i could be wrong
