-Bitcoin DOES NOT CARE about:
--Nic Carter
--Michael Saylor
--ANY OTHER "influencer" or personality.
-Bitcoin does not care if you own alt coins.
-Bitcoin does not care what country you are in.
-Bitcoin does not care what language you speak.
-So it does not care if you call it a "store of value", or "digital gold" or a "ponzi scheme". It doesn't even know what those are.
-Bitcoin does not care if you call it a medium of exchange or not. Or if you use it as one.
-It does not care if you like lightning, or hate it.
I could go on for pages... but you can too.
I will say I have ALWAYS found the childish gatekeeping purity test shit to be EXTREMELY ANNOYING. Yes... we have a rule here. This thread is about Bitcoin. Most of us here are fairly to one side of the "maxi" continuum.
I do not really care that much about Nic Carter. He is obviously a brilliant mind, and someone who has made a shit ton of money investing in things... calls himself a "VC" now. Almost certainly has some Patagonia gear.
Bitcoin does not care. And *I* care even less.
If I start hearing the hoards of Bitcoiners wailing about "slaying your heros" etc... well I suppose I should stay away from twitter for a while. It will annoy me especially while other people who essentially do the same thing as Nic wag their fingers at him. Samson, for example. Someone who launched an ERC20 token. But likes to masquerade as a Maxi.
I don't care about that either (and I am certain Bitcoin doesn't! )
I think part of this is I have just been on this earth long enough to see how childish all this is... The Bitcoin "community" really needs to grow up.
And it will... In time. And at the same time there will always be fools (like me) wailing about whatever hurt their feelings.
And Bitcoin does not care.
Oh look! Block 742858 is going to show up any second! Or should I say, any 10 minute?
An asset that's worth its salt can have "influencers", hodlers, diamond hands, paper hands, supporters, detractors, haters, etc. at any point throughout a thousand years (or in the case of PMs, many thousands). They will come and go, live and die.
Do you think that asset cares what the fk any of them think or do? Holding an asset is neither a flex, a fashion show, nor a popularity contest.
Bitcoin will outlive us all.
(And now I feel like an idiot personifying an inanimate digital network)
