Maybe I'm being elitist or unfair (let me know), but I don't give a fuck about a person's opinion on #Bitcoin if they meet any of the following conditions:

1. If they have any Bitcoin, it's on an exchange and none is in cold storage.

2. They've never sent and/or received Bitcoin on chain or on another layer (Lightning, etc) to buy/sell something or to send value for some other reason (donation, zaps, etc).

3. They don't know what the difficulty adjustment is.

I'm willing to help someone do these things if they genuinely want to understand Bitcoin, but I'm not going to argue or defend my position with these people. It's a waste of my time and energy.
