- Bitcoiners embrace their independence of thought.
They don’t follow the herd mentality and refrain from speculating in ephemeral assets. They are happy to just stack sats.
- Bitcoiners live life on their own terms.
While other people worry themselves sick thinking about whether Bitcoin would bring up their portfolio value, Bitcoiners are not stingy about spending sats because they don’t want to have anything to do with fiat. They know that they can replace these sats later.
- Bitcoiners are low time-preference people.
They understand that Bitcoin is a long-term investment, so they discipline themselves to making sacrifices now so that they can benefit from Bitcoin’s inevitable rise in the future.
- Bitcoiners are action-oriented people.
Be it orange-pilling merchants to accept Bitcoin, hosting their own node or working on a GitHub project, Bitcoiners don’t wait for change to happen. They become the change they want to see in the world.
- Bitcoiners value self-custody.
Their independence of thought transfers over to their habits. While investors buy Bitcoin in the hopes of becoming millionaires, Bitcoiners sell fiat to buy Bitcoin because they want undisputed control of their financial destiny.
- Bitcoiners read regularly.
To maintain that dexterity of mind, they read many books to consolidate their insights on the failures of the capitalist system as well as the superiority of Bitcoin over other currencies. Because they are well-read, they can write elaborated, thoughtful comments that showcase their rigorous thinking.
- Bitcoiners do not hoard sats.
Given that the vitality of many Lightning Network apps relies on people zapping content creators, many a Bitcoiner know that as long as they contribute useful content to the community, they will be duly rewarded for their efforts. The value for value economy is well and truly alive!
