To be fair techbros are a pretty low bar. All they know is privatize public services, dodge taxes by any means necessary, eat hot chip, and lie.

If you're a Bitcoiner and aren't an ancap, you're unusually stupid

Yes they're all in the Stupid Evil quadrant but it's a matter of trading points in "evil" for more points in "stupid" Satoshi's manifesto lays out very clearly how Bitcoin is designed to be an instantiation of fundamentally ancap beliefs

There is no meaningful motivation behind the "trustless" philosophy behind Bitcoin than hating the government Unless you fundamentally hate the *idea* of a government with a burning irrational zeal there is no reason to *ever* use the blockchain as a replacement for a database

If you think that "trusting a government" is *ever* a possible, allowable solution to a problem, then letting a government designate a trusted database of some kind is *always* going to be a cheaper solution -- cheaper in terms of *every single resource* -- than the blockchain

The blockchain is perversely MAXIMALLY WASTEFUL in its pursuit of a solution to "the problem of trust" -- anyone who thinks trust is slightly less of a problem than Satoshi did can come up with a solution slightly less awful
