Your comment is so absurd I don't even know where to start...

Your analogy with casino chips is priceless since, precisely, casino chips (something that has zero value outside of a very limited perimeter) are the exact opposite of what Bitcoin is supposed to be.

Just because SN uses BTC as a currency does NOT imply (at all) it's supposed to be a cult. Bitcoin is intended to be a universal currency, regardless of borders, politics, religions and all. Pretending that a website should adhere to a specific vision or pseudo philosophy, just because it uses BTC, totally contradicts that.

I maintain that it's a big mistake to keep this stance, as it can only prevent SN from reaching mainstream.

Bitcoiners do not form a community. The more Bitcoin is seen as a community (and even more as a community of toxic die-hard maxis), the more it means it's failing.

Bitcoin will be an actual success when your grand'ma will use apps and services that reward her in BTC, and she will find it normal. That's why SN has a huge potential, showing the way of Bitcoin becoming a natural currency of choice for online services. This has nothing to do with the cult-oriented mindset shown by the 1% of Bitcoiners who can't admit reality.
