All the shitcoiners complaining about bitcoiners being toxic to their shitcoin scams spent the year 2017 supporting Segwit2x, the most serious attack on bitcoin ever.
They have not once admitted this was a mistake, because they are happy to sacrifice bitcoin for their dumb scams
The next time an altcoin-promoting con artist tells you bitcoiners are toxic, ask them what they did in 2017 to fight the toxicity of the corporate takeover that wanted to force bitcoiners to adopt new consensus rules & destroy bitcoin's most important property: immutability.
Of all the supporters of the segwit2x attack on bitcoin, only the great Wences Casares has introspected, apologized & admitted his mistake. All the rest are unapologetic opportunist scoundrels who would gladly destroy bitcoin for whatever scam they're pumping this week.
Bitcoiner toxicity: calls your centralized database scam a shitcoin.
Shitcoiner toxicity: organizes a corporate digital lynch mob to change the consensus rules of bitcoin so it can become centralized like all shitcoins, then complains about toxicity.

Fiater thinks bitcoin is a bewildering bubble while living in a world where governments owe $100t+ of low & negative interest rate debt while locking their people at home & arresting them for working.
To become the richest man in the world under hard money, Rockefeller, born in poverty, built the foundations of modern industrial society by providing billions with the infrastructure that allows them cheap & reliable energy for heating, cooking, production & transportation.
Under hard money, there's no alternative to providing people value to get them to give you money to get rich. The richest man in the world will be the man who provides the world with the most value & Rockefeller transformed the world.
Bitcoin consumes so much energy because it uses a fully mechanical & digital process to ascertain truth. It doesn't rely on the authority of anyone.
It isn't a more energy-intensive way of doing consumer payments; it's a less energy-intensive way of achieving consensus than war.
All attempts to compare bitcoin energy consumption with banks, consumer payment technologies, central banks, or gold completely miss the point of bitcoin's real opportunity cost. Bitcoin doesn't replace these & they can, in principle, coexist with bitcoin.
Bitcoin replaces the need for strangers to have to be subject to the same government & central bank in order to trade internationally, which necessitates one government imposing its will on the rest of the world, which can only be done with war.
Carbonhysterics coming after Bitcoin will be the end of carbonhysteria. Nobody does their homework as thoroughly as bitcoiners, while climate hysterics are either scammy careerist grifters or unthinking simpletons who believe marketing press releases.
Carbonhysteria is science by press release and intimidation. You can't keep a career in fiat unless you are hysterical about CO2. Bitcoiners can't be cancelled because they have hard money savings. You'll have to run the numbers & show the receipts to convince them. Good luck!
Here's a sample of what sane people who aren't making a living from spreading hysteria have to say on CO2 & climate: @AlexEpstein: The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels. @ShellenbergerMD: Apocalypse Never.
Steve Koonin: Unsettled. @ClimateAudit: climateaudit.org
"Akshully, this anecdotal data of rising prices is not enough to prove inflation. You need to look at the entire basket of goods, like the CPI does, and the CPI finds very low inflation, so your anecdotal data is DEBUNKED"
Fiat scientist takes fish from the sea and puts them in fish tank and reports they were scared. He blames CO2 and establishes an entire field of study. And he would have gotten away with it if it weren't for...
...these badasses who went to the sea instead of playing with fish tanks and found that fish don't care about tiny increases in CO2 levels, because they're smarter than many humans.
