Where is @Beautyon_ ? Also there is no community lol ;)

A lot are missing because of twits max size. :( And a comunnity is a group of people having a particular characteristic in common.

I think there is a Bitcoin Maximalist community and also a community of content creators / conference speakers.

This distinction is better. I just recall Beautyon getting riled about there not being a "Bitcoin Community".

There are many Bitcoin communities

Never really understood the idea of there being "No bitcoin community." I think some want to give the term a much stricter definition than it actually has but it just means a group that has something in common, especially if it forms a network of interaction in some way.

Already words for this: "group", "set", etc. Before PR people got ahold of the word "community" it meant groups of people who regularly talk to each other. Unless you have a better word for this concept we need to keep using "community" in this crucial traditional sense.

I'm curious, bc I respect your work immensely but our social politics diverge significantly (tho I try to keep an open mind) - if I onboard a bunch of queer liberal weirdos to enthusiastically adopt bitcoin, would you consider them part of "the community, " in this definition?
