    Don’t hate the player.

    I own BTC, and disagree with crypto’s existence.

    It may make my life easier to follow along in the mold society takes, even if I disagree with it. It isn’t going away just because of me. The winning team ain’t losing. Then they’d be the losing team… and not winning.

      You didn’t need to tell me you own crypto, your post screams “crypto bro” at such screeching decibels that I think you just shattered a wine glass over there.

      I do think that would be a superb opening monologue (set to a moody montage) for a skit taking the piss out of naive crypto bros though, well done!

        Oh, boy, irrational hatred. Anything else a YouTube video told you to hate that you want to accuse me of being?

        Don’t hate the player. Hate the game. If it’s between surviving in this shit world or not, I’ll take a few BTC. Put your morals in the dirt and see if anything grows out of them for all they’re worth.

        People are greedy pieces of shit. They vote for it. They reward it. I’m just appealing to human nature. There’s no more good among you than there is me. You want to shun BTC? Fine. Take the long road. Your choice.

          The actual act of taking some moderate sum of crypto here is meaningless to me, you were able to attain a valuable thing and so you did. It is only an intimate knowledge of the context of that choice that can inform any kind of accurate judgement fraught with grey areas as it may be.

          That isn 't what interests me about crypto, what I find interesting is that no matter what rock you check under in virtually the entire crypto sphere the attitude of the creatures involved always untangles into this same precise attitude. Maybe you fall under the category maybe you don’t, my point is about the mindset of this whole enterprise that permeates it at seemingly every level.
