Hot take, but people who are obsessed with Bitcoin are super weird. I get the utility of a decentralized ecurrency but the way some of these fin-bros talk about it totally turns me off it. They seem like the kinds of people who always talk about how humble they are.

I agree, it's a fucking cult.

You would think it’d be about that. It’s not. At least not in that sub. At best it’s about having virtual currency that you don’t have to actually carry around, at worst it’s just about sniffing their own farts.
They’re obsessed like a cult, what you just said is an example of it. They’ll berate you for hours purely based on it being decentralized when Bitcoin is possibly the most centralized of all the coins. They don’t care. It’s just lonely people who want a community where they can feel superior to “regular folk” who “just don’t understand”.

Most I've talked to sound extremely similar to conspiracy theorists...

It's just a collossal waste of resources. There's mining farms in China dedicated to grinding out bitcoins when all those resources could be used to continue the folding at home project and help with important medical research.

The problem with bitcoin communities is that for every one person into it for the decentralized tech angle, there's ten libertarians into it because they think that bitcoin will dethrone governments and usher in a stateless utopia, and one hundred into it because they think that it's a get-rich-quick scheme they'll get rich from.
