Touché. There are better memes that could have been used here. It does suggest that degeneracy is a 'step up' from the other concepts. My point was to show that degens skip all of the salient intellectual work needed to understand Bitcoin. Unfortunately, they get misconstrued as being the same species as bitcoiners, while they do none of the same intellectual work. It was not my intention to propagate these lies. I will meme more carefully in the future.
