I get the utility of a decentralized ecurrency

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”.
