Rectal Death Adept posted:Normal cryptocurrency is just filthy digital fiat now because everyone is involved with it. people are trying to re-capture the magic of the early days of bitcoin where you were seen as an outsider and revolutionary for buying in. It's because the only point of being a crypto early adopter is to take advantage and become the new oligarchs.

Rai stones are the giant stones used as a form of currency in that one Pacific island, right? And there's one which is one the bottom of the sea because the boat transporting it sank, but it's still used and traded (or was) because everyone remembers where it is. Basically cashless currency using collective memory instead of electronics. I feel like one of the main fallacies of bitcoiners is that they more or less presume that currency exists independently of society.

I'm vaguely remembering the old internet RPG ForumWarz, which seemed very goon inspired, and that its currency was a mostly useless internet fun money where among the only tangible things you could actually buy with it was various drugs, which acted as healing and buff items for the Troll class.

A big theme with bitcoiners is that they're stupid, but they think they're smart and everyone else is dumber than they are, so they're constantly ripping off each other with obvious scams, and think that other people will be impressed by random charts and buzzwords that don't mean anything. Reminded of that r/relationships post where a guy is trying to lie to his girlfriend but sucks at it, when she points out he's trying to pass off an old cable box as a laptop he just stares and goes. "...how do you always catch me?"

Libertarians and techbro types have the same fallacy with economics that liberal centrists have with politics in general; believing that established norms, decorum and 'common wisdom' are physical laws, and being unable to comprehend when they are openly and routinely broken.

Nessus posted:What blows my mind with these weirdos is not so much that they want to say "I'm right, you're wrong." That would be stupid but it is understandable. Instead there is this strange but seemingly universal narrative of, "if only you hadn't talked poo poo, perhaps you too could have become rich... but you missed your chance, and now you are upset..." It's like they have to mock up this diorama of theoretical emotional reactions of internet strangers to get off. Reminds me of people in MLM scams who are often trained to construct narratives about why people try to talk them out of it, usually along those similar lines about how they're actually jealous, sour grapes, too afraid of success, etc In general any narrative that goes 'They actually know we're right and they're wrong, and that makes them so mad' is laffo and a sign of someone who's on track to a helluva implosion

I'm gonna guess anything a bitcoiner links is pages and pages of big braned smart guy talk with long words that doesn't actually say anything and/or makes unsubstantiated claims that are easily disproven, but doing so will just lead to throwing up more links like a squid's cloud of ink.

Key thing is all the absurd and janky poo poo about bitcoin is what bitcoiners like. The whole mining process that was literally 'use your fancy gaming rig to make funbux!' and then escalated into making significant contributions towards climate disaster, the unwieldy protocols, difficulty of actually doing anything with it- it makes them feel smart, like elite haxxors cresting the wave of the future.
