I'm not even that gung-ho about bitcoin honestly. At best it's just different money. At worst it's a complete scam. Not a big deal really.

The issues I have with some of the people here aren't about Bitcoin.

I care about culture over just about everything else. The idea of more normies increases pretty undesirable culture in my mind. And decreases uniqueness to this platform over any other platform.

At a certain point it just becomes Facebook with bitcoin and more annoying steps to get here. I don't think anyone really wants a carbon copy of Facebook culturally speaking.

Or Reddit. Or Twitter or any other place.

Right now as I see it this is an alternative to the fedi. Although the fedi might actually be better for culture purposes.

I'm trying to address your questions and I think I have the best I can but if I missed anything let me know.

Also I'm perfectly fine disagreeing. I'm not trying to convince you of anything. Just letting you know my position.
