someone who runs a Bitcoin node
A Bitcoiner is just a person who realized the system is broken and decided to opt out.zap ⚡
A retard
Nop 😆😆
Someone who sees things for what they really are.
A Bitcoiner isn’t just someone who holds Bitcoin. It’s someone who truly understands and lives the principles behind it, personal financial freedom, censorship resistance, decentralization, and verifying rather than blindly trusting.
Anyone agreed that Bitcoin is the best money ever
An autist
This leaves the question though: does this mean one can be both a bitcoiner and a shitcoiner?
I suppose I'd say perhaps -- good reason to distinguish with Bitcoin Maxi.
Bitcoiners are freedom oriented in most every aspect of life.
The system is not broken. It’s working perfectly as designed.
So I think the bitcoiner is someone who realized the system is designed to enslave him .
Bitcoiners are people who use Bitcoin, but there's a spectrum.
I'm on the spectrum.
I don’t agree. Using Bitcoin does not make you a bitcoiner according to my view of course.
What’s the spectrum? Can you describe it?
The spectrum isn't about how much Bitcoin you use, but why and how deep your conviction is.
Level 1 (User): Uses Bitcoin for transactions/investment.
Level 2 (Holder): Understands the monetary policy (21M).
Level 3 (Bitcoiner): Adopts the principles (sovereignty, long-term time preference) and builds/educates (like the #BitcoinMakueni initiative) to strengthen the ⚡network.
Usage is just the entry point; the mindset is the spectrum.
Something I've been working on.
I've come up with "SAVED by Bitcoin"
S - sovereign
A - awakened
V - visionary
E - empowered
D - discipline
These are the mindsets that Bitcoiners (not just people who own Bitcoin) have

I was mainly making an autism joke. Self definitions of any kind are inherently faulty.
Thanks for the shoutout, nostr:nprofile1qqsfye65t5530wq0wpllmdz23luhjxp9drhhh2syae6kk8cp6n3k3zsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcdspxda We agree: Definitions are hard, but actions are clear.
The #Bitcoiner Spectrum (Makueni View): It moves from possession to participation.
1.Possessor (User): Holds Bitcoin.
2.Philosopher: Understands the time preference and fiat corruption.
3.Builder (Bitcoiner): Applies the philosophy to create real-world change—by educating others, running a node, or building infrastructure and utility.
A Bitcoiner is someone who moves from merely using the network to actively strengthening it. The journey is the definition.
