It's interesting that there are many comments defending him. I acknowledge that he brig a value here by helping people learn with his technical knowledge and guides. But why do some of us think that it is necessary to speak down to people to help us learn? Some people seem to want to be abused in order to grow. I can't wrap my head around that. When someone talks down to me, I just want to go the other way. And I don't want to see people pushed away by words. Maybe I am just overly sensitive. I will continue to help people while remaining compassionate. I don't know a other way. Thanks for sharing.
Make the difference between people that want to learn from me and assmilkers and shitcoiners that are only fooling around.

I don't think people are defending his behavior. I think they are just accepting him for who he is, both good and bad.
Think of it this way: are you proposing that something should be done about DarthCoin? Censorhip, perhaps? Social reprimand? I don't think we want to resort to those things. If you don't like to hear what he says, then just mute and move on.

I dont think anything needs to be done. It's all perfect. The post was really to remind everyone that they need not to play the victim. I feel like I was clear about this.
reply
Yes, you were clear. Sorry, I didn't ready everything carefully before responding.

Thanks for acknowledging that. I feel that a lot of people didn't read the whole post before responding. I could have done a better job framing it.

It’s the classic fiat mindset they always brag about here—how they’ll “f*** the government, f*** fiat, f*** the banks.” But in reality, their behavior has clearly been shaped by the abuse of the very systems they claim to hate. All his NPCs spend countless hours here kissing up to him.

To me, Bitcoin is about loving inclusion and compassion, not exclusion.
reply
This is the real way. Because of people like DC or thoughts like his, Bitcoin has to always stay "we're too early."
reply
Yeah. I want to help change the world. Not divide it.
reply
100% agree.
Bitcoin should bring people together under fair, transparent rules that cannot change, at least with overwhelming user support or directive (which won't happen).
A large reason Bitcoin doesn't have more adoption imo... is the absolutely piss-poor marketing department.
reply
Exactly. From the outside people tend to think of bitcoiners as being up on a Hugh horse. It is NOT an inviting place. I will always do what I can to invite to new people in and teach them in a compassionate way. It's just not necessary to treat people badly to teach them things. If that were the case, teachers would all be assholes.
reply
Spread Bitcoin with love, fairness and kindness. That's what people will respond to.
The adversarial survival-attitude that many Bitcoiners adopt is understandable... but it does not do a great job at educating or being inviting to 'normies'. The result is where 1% of the people and institutions... have 90% of the Bitcoin.
A little bit of kindness and warmness goes a long way... and we could use some in Bitcoin imo

I agree. It's kind of tough being a sensitive caring type here some times. I'm used to it though. I am getting more resilient.
For him, it’s all about bragging, abusing, and demeaning others. He thinks he’s some kind of Bitcoin messiah, but he’s too dumb to understand that the future of Bitcoin will never be in his hands. BTC is about the trust we all share a trust that we’ll never face or suffer in a crisis like the 2007–2008 global recession again. BTC represents the freedom to reclaim our rights and throw off government control. But his goals are purely about trolling.
A true BTC maximalist doesn’t spend hours abusing others. He’s just an 8chan troll who found a new platform after 8chan (now 8kun) when it was taken down and now it has became more censored and couldn’t host his nonsense anymore. Abusing others is just a habit for him, built from all those years he spent trolling on 8chan.
reply
That makes sense. He does seem quite wrapped up being "right" and feeding his ego. I'm all about understanding and managing my ego as much as I can.
reply
This is the biggest red flag those who claim they’re always right are the biggest losers and always end up alone, not loved. It’s a clear sign he was an 8chan user.

You have no idea what you are talking about idiot.
