Topic: Today I learned I'm part of a BTC cult: The Bitcoin Carnivores (Read 175 times)

This group sounds corny. Bitcoin maxis sound corny. They appear as solid Bitcoin fanatics but then many of them are Bitcoin investors who also promote custodial services and closed-source software and even use stablecoins, are fiat and bank dependent as well. Why can't we use what good technologies are there?

Those who are also promoting meat-only diet are as corny as vegetarians and vegans. They are opposites when it comes to food but they are equal when it comes to being shallow. Why can't we just eat what good food are there? Meat only? Your pepper isn't meat.

I guess being part of Bitcoin cult wasn't enough?  A Bitcoin meat cult? Alright, I'll bite (get it? ).

Usually I avoid garbage leftist media like Vice due to their biased and dishonest style of reporting, but for some reason (probably because I am currently hungry), I am interested in this cult.

I think that meat-only on the table is not really optimal. You need potatoes, rice or some other carbs. Not a lot, just a bit. The reason being that you get bored eating meat, then you go for the sidedish, and you think: "gee, these potatoes suck. I think I will try the meat again" and by comparison, suddenly meat becomes even tastier.

GMO grass that 'escaped' defies eradication, divides grass seed industry

It astonishes me that a simple fact which should be well known by everyone, since it's directly related to what you ingest in your body, is seen as lunatic, delusional conspiracy theory, while conspiracy theories are absorbed without further critical thinking or questioning.

Grass, plants and crops in general have been genetically modified to become stronger against diseases and plagues, while increasing its fertility and productivity rates. If it wasn't for these modifications, there wouldn't be capacity to produce enough food to feed the overpopulated world, although personally, as side effect, I believe it directly interferes on the taste and texture of the final product.

Anyway, food in general is artificial nowadays and it seems we can't avoid it. That is the point. Carnivorous cultists aren't accessing the secret hidden intelligence and unsealing occult potentials of the human genes by sticking themselves to a meat diet. They are eating artificial food like everyone else.

bruh

It is about conviction, "not driving," to accepting bitcoin, there are certain people who need "cults" to add to the idea of ​​​​bitcoin but it is not really necessary, therefore welcome Vegans, vegetarians and anyone who breathes.

Even the grass isn't the same nowadays. It's different than it used to be in the times of our grandfathers and before. Moreover, hardly ever you will fatten cattle, chicken and pigs without rations, especially when breeding in large scale... Transgenic technology came to feed the massive growing population of the world. You can't expect to release some animals on the pasture and come back one year later to slaughter it in order to feed 7.888 billion people...

You can follow any cults and unrealistic concepts of life you wish, but you can't deny reality. If we only needed meat to survive, there wouldn't be a plethora of another categories of food available and disponible for us to ingest. We don't need only proteins (which meat is abundant in), but also carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, lipids. Each kind of food is rich in one of those nutrients, so why not taking advantage of all of them? For fad reasons? To look cool, eccentric, different from everyone else? Or to feel part of a group of idiots who don't even know who you are?

It's up to you do decide what to eat, how to live, and so on... However you should know the consequences of your actions and what your organism demands for proper functioning.

There's always option for grass-fed.

Most carnivores do the diet for purely health reasons.

I don't try to convert anyone. Everyone eats whatever they want. This one works for me and I'm happy to continue.

And how does he think animals he eat are fed nowadays? This foolish man is eating artificial meat from animals as well, since they are fatten up by artificial rations.

This is just another useless group composed by individuals who probably don't have anything better to do in life, so they start elaborating senseless theories of a glorious past (which in fact has never existed) where life was better, and that we should introduce the same old habits in our current reality.

It's so cringe like the politically correct vegan cult. they are two sides of the same coin. What we should have in mind is that balance is they key for a healthy and fruitful life: meat is good, vegetables are good, so we should link the benefits of both in our nutrition. Besides healthy, it's also going to be tasty and satisfactory. Regards finances, the same can be applied. Who does live only making use of Bitcoin? That is impossible! Maybe those cultist jerks do, but they are a minority living inside a wealthy bubble. It doesn't apply to the majority of us.

So, take advantage of Bitcoin, but also of fiat currency. You aren't in this world to serve money, so make money serve you accordingly to your needs!

OP doesn't think bitcoin is a cult.

It is odd that they make this connection but not entirely crazy. Maybe it’s something about being a carnivore that gives you an attack mentality and Bitcoin is an attack on the existing financial system. I certainly was a carnivore for decades before Bitcoin was created, so I think being a Bitcoiner has more to do with being a carnivore than a carnivore has to do with being a Bitcoiner.

I wonder why op thinks bitcoin is a cult, bitcoin is just free as air.  People will make their decisions if to invest in bitcoin or to stop invest in bitcoin.  In every cult their are consequences if you choose not to belong as member but in bitcoin you make decisions to invest in bitcoin because you understand the benefit and value bitcoin has and you can still decide not to invest in bitcoin. Bitcoin is just too good that everyone needs it's financial support.

lol never a good sign when you think its a good thing that you're part of a cult. I've heard of the bitcoin carnivore thing before. Definitely the epitome of toxic wannabe "alpha" bros. Probably not a group you want to associate, even though you happen to be into both those things, unless you're also a toxic wannabe alpha bro, then you've found your crew haha but that's for you to decide.

Do you think that people who invest in Bitcoin are some kind of rebels against fiat? Most of these people have never paid anything with Bitcoin, all their transactions go in the direction of FIAT -> CEX (cryptocurrency) -> FIAT = PROFIT.

I have to disappoint you that there have never been and never will be any cults when it comes to Bitcoin, unless you want to create one and attract a few weirdos to it

Who would've thought that there are people whove been on the carnivore diet for ages and thought of this. Haha i find this very intriguing. Apparently, there's a whole community blending meat-heavy diets with Bitcoin vibes. The term "bitcoin carnivore" caught me off guard and it turns out there's even an only-meat dinner at BTC conferences. So, here I am, unknowingly stumbling into a world where what people connects with rebellion against the fiat system haha So many things new to me

Bitcoin cult? It's like I don't want to listen to him; it's not good to listen to him. It seems like we're deifying Bitcoin, which it's not, right? Bitcoin only becomes an instrument for us to get out of the hardships of life.

And of course, it depends on how we make our way here in the crypto space. But even so, it is not good to eat only meat as much as possible; it is better to always eat vegetables for us to remain healthy.

You're goddamn right - unfortunately. I try to, but it's nearly impossible in my country.

Obviously that's what you're going to get when you read the article but I don't really see the point of that and the message that they're trying to throw across the room don't seem to be hitting where it needs to hit, it kind of cringes me a little bit that there's people like these in the community that I'm proud of, kind of throwing all of the stuff that they want to because they think it somehow makes sense which if you look at an outsider perspective, is kind of weird.
That's what I've thought too, it definitely is ridiculous but as you've said already, it's their lives and they can do what they want to do. Well now that balanced diet I think isn't somewhat true, there's a lot of scientists/nutritionists out there that's going to be outraged by that statement because there's a science behind those balance diet system and it would be weird of us to disregard scientists trying to tell us something. Yes, we are spectators but that don't mean that we can't give our opinion or judgment to what they're doing.

But do you meet the criteria to be part of the cult?


I doubt that you meet the first one.

Or quite the opposite. Many are allergic to certain substances in vegetables without knowing, this is the ultimate elimination diet. Moreover, with lots of attention even the micronutrients can be completely fine on the carnivore - so basically no point of needing greens if you know what's inside which food. Replying also to a previous comment I'm not choosing this because of "being cool", it's obviously one of the hardest diets to follow, and you basically can't eat out with friends etc. I managed to improve serious health conditions. I go to doctor way less frequently now, and when I do my bloodwork I always tell them to not get shocked by the cholesterol etc. The normal ranges are for SAD (the standard American diet) and they make no sense without context. Many dont know unfortunately.

I always double-check the authenticity of the information (even proofread the medical studies), because everything and its opposite is already out there. And many dietary facts (what the general public knows about cholesterol and diseases, saturated fats, vegetable oils, etc) are already debunked, yet engraved into the public minds. We've come to the point where you can't really even trust the studies, because of incorrect methodologies (questionnaires) or p-hacking. And referring to incorrect studies makes an avalanche.

In this regard, - dont trust, verify -, I think there actually might be some connection.

If only eating meat makes you healthy, then a varied health system that includes low carbohydrates and exercise will make your body more resistant to disease and sustainable, instead of a healthy diet that may make you sick after several years.
Blindly biasing towards Bitcoin without thinking makes it a sect rather than a technology that can offer something new, and when something becomes like a sect or a cult, it is sacred and making changes to the system is more difficult, and it is something that will destroy Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is a technology that needs updating, and it is not perfect, but continuous updating makes it valuable.
