If your identity is communism, nazism, voluntarism - at least it's a position. If your identity is "Bitcoiner" or "Etherean," what are you actually standing for? The tool is neutral. Making it your identity means you have a tribe but no principles - just enemies.

I sometimes fall into this trap too and call myself an Ethereum person. It feels like it means something, but it doesn't. It's better to talk directly about your principles and beliefs.
Bitcoiners used to be weirdos wearing Guy Fawkes masks and hanging out in London anarchist squats Now they wear MAGA hats and shill electrolytes Are those the same people who "grow up" and become conservative? Or the original people left and new people "moved in" to the space?
