Bitcoin maxis are very similar to leftists. They’re radical, dogmatic, and toxic; they don’t accept being questioned. They call themselves enlightened, knowing the supreme truth, and they signal virtue toward the traditional financial system (but they’re basically its little bitch*s). They even have their idols (like Saylor). In short, they’re a pathetic cult.
Meanwhile, the moneristas value privacy above all, because they know there’s no freedom without privacy. They’re curious about cypher-punk technologies, love debating innovations in the crypto ecosystem, and enjoy discussing new ways to fight the traditional system because they refuse to ally with it (governments hate it). In short, they’re the real cypher-punks, fighting in the underground.
