HFSP (Have Fun Staying Poor) is a direct contradiction to the “Stay humble, stacks sats” mantra Bitcoiners constantly quote. Why would you want someone to be in poverty? Why would you make fun of the fact that someone did not educate themselves on Bitcoin and is now poorer for it? Bitcoiners can do better here. #bitcoin #btc #hfsp

I don't believe in kicking sand in the faces of people who are struggling. I do believe in extending my hand, and helping them. I've been the one struggling, and I know how it feels when others use your misfortune as fuel for their own amusement. I never want to be the one who treats others that way.
I see what you're saying and agree with the sentiment. Though think it's rightly applicable to the people who actively hate on Bitcoin and refuse to educate themselves. To the uninformed person who doesn't know better, sure, it's a bit aggressive and mean. But to the person who is actively choosing to not educate and learn and just spit on it, then yes, hfsp
^ yep. Also, bullying works where tact and eloquence fails. Some people need a sledgehammer, or they actually are acting in the worst interest of evolution and they NGMI.

I use both, depending on who I’m dealing with. Default is stay humble stack sats and the arrogant, stubborn, ignorant assholes get the toxic HFSP treatment. Also, we’re not a hivemind… Different people, different attitudes.
