It always amazes me how an insignificantly small number of bitcoiners who don't mine or contribute in any materially meaningful way still think they are the main characters.

They tend to see bitcoin as some sort of prophetic cause, the apotheosis of which is that the bankers will be vanquished and the food will be fixed and everyone gets a puppy and half a cow.

You guys realize this is just a LARP right? It's a richly fleshed-out fantasy world built on crusty libertarian/ancap/agorist/Austrian ideas that never penetrate into real life.

I think that's important to realize, because some of you are making life decisions around what is effectively a game of pretend. You're moving to literal dangerous places of the world. You're sinking irresponsible amounts of personal capital and credit into a computer science experiment that may not shake out.
