   You people scream freedom all day while doing nothing more than looking at the value of bitcoin against the dollar you claim to hate so much. Bitcoin is nothing more than a fancy investment toy.

     And nah, I'm passionate but not upset. If I get just one person to realize they're on the path to worshiping money (albeit in a different form) and that they should reconsider whether it's worth their mental energy, then it was a success.
     
     Alas, critical thinkers on nostr are few and far between.

     It's fun for the worshipers of mammon, because they get to feel rich without actually being rich. They get to convince themselves they're being selfless and helping the poor without actually lifting a finger, all the while they look at the almighty stock chart, drooling, under complete control of those little green and red bars, fantasizing about owning a mansion one day after producing nothing of value in the real world...All while they criticize today's rich of the very same thing.
     
     Hypocrites.

     You’re right to some extent, but some ppl like the idea that it doesn’t require the consent of some governing authority, which is clever actually. It actually does though lol.
     
     But yeah, most ppl in crypto are in it out of pure self interest, just like anything else.

     I think you should follow all of your fedi friends from nostr if you’re going to use it, otherwise it’s going to make you upset.

     I understand why ppl like crypto, the idea is interesting. But it’s never going to be a real currency, the state won’t allow it, and it’s also super risky and inconvenient. It’s also literally a cult, there’s really no other way to put it.

     Most ppl don’t want their mind changed, they want reinforcement that their position is right. It’s fun to talk to argue with them but don’t expect change.
