A little rant about these so-called critics
288 sats \ 5 comments \ @Fabs 15 Oct 2023 bitcoin
I spend a lot of time reading up, and writing (personal) summaries about Bitcoin's inner workings, maybe some of you have even read a post or two.
The more I learn and understand, the more I scratch my head about people who swing around strong opinions about Bitcoin that confident, yet that uninformed at the same time. I honestly can't fathom how braindead one has to be to come up with most of the things I've heard and read from these "critics", and maybe the worst part is : they are absolutely resistant to learning. In their eyes, we are to be called a cult, yet they are the ones who zealously hold onto false narratives and made up wrong opinions and beliefs. It's maddening and disheartening at the same time, and I honestly wonder what they try to get out of this behaviour ?! What is their "end goal?"
Alright, that was relieving, back to work.

Lol yeah man, thats sadly how humans work, very few of us are willing to go into the weeds and explore the nuance, we would rather let others do it and borrow their opinion, it has worked for us for many years
The problem is if you're not borrowing your opinion from as close to the source as possible which is the case now with the internet, where people get info from influencers, news and brands who are only experts in talking not experts in a given field your information is already corrputed.
The more I learn the more I see I was wrong on a lot of things.
But I also think Bitcoiners have their own dogma, they are right about Bitcoin, then some think they are right about anything and take memes like Bitcoin fixes this way to literally
But hey thats the human condition I suppose

I think you're right, not only about where people take their "knowledge" from, but especially about the type of Bitcoiners who trie to slap the "Bitcoin fixes this" bandaid on everything they see, equally irritating.

it's the same way with everything. politics, technology, parenting, energy, etc. bitcoiners are not immune to the same stupidity elsewhere
