Now that the outcome of 110 has been established, my focus has shifted to the demeanor of the highly visible anti-110 "bitcoiners" who adamantly expressed opposition.

If this was a "civil war" of ideals and truly defending the network prior to 961,632 (664) then it might be fair to say the gloves were off and any means necessary to obtain one's objective was justified.

Now that we have a decision, many of the "victorious" side have not simply taken the W and moved on. The amount of continued attacks after the fact on their adversaries, has exposed the true character of these individuals.

Perhaps I gave these people too much credit in the past, giving them a pass as they were after all fellow bitcoiners.

This W for them has done more to show their weakness of character even though they feel emboldened by the "in-group" status sought after.

Sadly, I'll never un-see the real person now that the larping mask has been removed. For anyone paying attention, you know who these people are. Be wary, they are NOT your friends. I'll never have that same vibe at a Bitcoin event after this reveal. Maybe I've been too altruistic, therefore it's on me.

Finding the authentic Bitcoin ethos in future meetings with people, now appears more difficult than mining the third BIP-110 block. To those inauthentic actors, should we meet at an event and I'm rude to you d̶o̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶ take it personally.
