 "Bitcoin makes politics irrelevant. Let's talk about politics." 
 I know people have reasonable and valid reasons to spend more than zero time thinking about it, but meh

Tbh it’s almost exactly the same feeling i have towards TA in bitcoin. Or towards shitcoins. And such

Like, sure, you can spend up to 24 hours a day trying to understand these things as they do exist and have various consequences, and there’s a lot of information available. You could potentially even end up benefitting you in some way from living in those weeds. BUT TO WHAT END

Might as well just not, and try to do more fulfilling stuff instead 
 Yeah, topics that impact your community or business directly are worth discussing. 

It just becomes obnoxious when the people who are like "fuck the state, end the fed" for engagement are also now political commentators. It's like, what do you actually stand for? Or are you just saying whatever to be popular? Fuck that.
