As far as I can tell, Bitcoin maximalists are only rude in contrast to the faux-village niceness pursued by utopian marketing campaigns that depend on phony friendliness to seem to work rather than on a technology and governance philosophy that actually works.https://twitter.com/aalexis1234/status/984604586215395328 …

Ok fair. You have such a strong following. Let people know, they are also scaring away regular people, who really believe in the cause. I tell my Ethereum friends the same. We are better together, fighting against oppression and BS, than stupid twitter wars. Collective power.
The people who don't share the core ethos of Bitcoin yet are trying to control it, we do want to scare them away. They should go throw their money and noise at some utopian chain. That has worked in the past and I hope it still works. But I agree let's be nice to everybody else.

You are leading a way. I have studied you and see you have it in you to lead, though you do not want to. Humans must have leaders, it is in our DNA. Our nature is between Hobbes and Locke, neither virtuous nor ruinous. I hope that you will take the challenge.

Nah. If I convince a few more people to share the core ethos & start using Bitcoin to improve their ability to store & transfer money around the globe, if I learn, discover, & teach a few more things about the nature of money, then I will consider my further efforts a success.

@NickSzabo4 has already more than done his fair share, and continues to, toward unlocking human potential with his work in the field. And he continues to loudly advocate for reason and the tech. IMO He's already a titan in the history books for his efforts. -
That's your current view. It is not yet written in stone. History works in mysterious ways and moves with a strange current. His time is right now and will hinge on some decisions he will be part of within the next year or so. History is not complacent.

Nothing about the bitcoin phenomenon reflects past social media/SV network effect scenarios or even marketing hype; it is wholly a paradigm shift. If regular people get "scared away" then they just prolong their education and inevitable acceptance of this protocol.

The social media, heavily manipulated, viral network effect of Web 2.0 has run its course. The next emergence will probably be autonomous decentralized mycelium-like networks with organic non-manipulated exponential growth such as what's seen in nature

@Naval, StopAndDecrypt BashCo_ Nick, what do you think went wrong in your data collecting, or do you still agree with these statements, and the culture Bitcoin's mod team is creating? Is#LookAtMeImNaval what you wanted when you said "scare them away"? - 4 more replies

I will say you & one or two other friends, are the only reason I engage. I see you that you see further than the Now and reach back to the ancients. At heart, bitcoin is to bring us back to the Mesopotamian barter system in a modern way. History will always influence the future
