I can't stand that sentiment.
We should recognize what Raoul Pal needs to be rammed with.
Bob?
First of all, who even knows who bitcoiners are? Bitcoin Twitter is an echo chamber. And if you want "Crypto Twitter" then there are plenty of Laura Shin type folks to listen to.
Of course, this Raoul Pal guy comes off with the impression: "I'm new to bitcoin, and I am here to fix it."
yeah right.
He can fuck off. That would be great.... and come back later when he is not trying to dictate who is who..,. bitcoin gives no shits whether peeps are nice or not nice... or whether peeps believe that there is a problem with the community or no.
Also what's the difference between telling someone that ETH is a scam, and wagging your finger at "toxic" people? Isn't it really the same thing?
I think that it is a good thing that bitcoin supporters (at least the more knowledgeable ones) will call out the vast majority of other projects as shit.. and part of the reason that they are shit is because there tend to be centralized entities and individuals printing tokens so they can benefit rather than pegging to bitcoin -- because bitcoin no is broken, in spite many claims of such.
To be honest I am starting to see that line as scam grease. No need to critisize folks who take the maxi line unless they threaten you, and I think what they threaten is a way he wants to make money.
Well.. from what I understand, Raoul Pal is coming around to bitcoin more and more, so at least he is starting to get the message that even if he does not believe in bitcoin, he better be hedging his bets otherwise bitcoin is going to eat his lunch. No problem attempting to keep a foot in both camps.. because transition to more and more bitcoin is likely to take a long ass time anyway.. .. although maybe when we look back we will say "that escalated quickly" even though while we are going through the ups and downs of escalation, it is frequently not seeming so damned quickly... especially during correction periods (our current place).
I get sick of the HFSP shit too to be honest. But a bunch of dweebs on twitter have absolutely nothing to do with bitcoin adoption.
This probably provides some evidence to the doubters that we are NOT quite ready for a supercycle.. but hey.. maybe some peeps are thinking that there will be, and I doubt that the world works like that and I doubt that status quo institutions are just going to roll over without at least a certain amount of fight both with financial tools if they can do that and with information wars too, if they can maintain some amount of credibility in propagating ideas that put bitcoin into doubt, at least to those who are less familiar with what really causes bitcoin to tick, and even some of us longer term bitcoiners will sometimes have our doubts, too... but hopefully we neither panic nor sell too much of our stash too soon because of our sometimes over receptivities to whatever new talking points are getting put out into the social media or wherever else such information is being propagated.
