I’m just going to say it. #Bitcoin is far from inevitable. The Bitcoin ethos and sentiment over the past few years have been absolutely ludicrous. The immaturity, delusion, and ignorance shown by most maxis have left this movement weaker and more fragile than ever. It has become an echo chamber filled with the same tired talking points, repeated on the same styled podcasts over and over again. "Hyperinflation is coming." "It’s going up forever." "Bitcoin is an inevitability." "Bitcoin is the greatest invention in human history." Even "Bitcoin is God." While the movement has been consumed by its own blind optimism and cultish rhetoric, the developers, node operators, and the broader ecosystem have been quietly co-opted and manipulated by state agents and bad actors with ulterior motives, selfish interests, and bad intentions. Wake the fuck up. Nothing is guaranteed. Trust your intuition, and don’t fall into cult-like thinking.

"Bitcoin is God" This is the type of idol worship the good book warns us about. "Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen." (1 John 5:21) I like the tool, but am starting to be repulsed by the culture. View quoted note →
This is an easy trap to fall into. Bitcoin as a money follows many biblical principals and reinforces a Christian ethos of delayed gratification, … but the money isn’t God. At best, it’s God’s money.
